Chora is the capital and main harbour of the island of Naxos Greece. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful
Cycladic villages in the entire group for it has a fine architecture, composed of Venetian and Cycladic elements.
Naxos Town has kept an authentic and traditional character and a strong local colour.
This large town is located on the west coast of Naxos and, on its top, stands an impressive Venetian castle, characteristic and trademark of the island.
This marvelous construction has been built following the orders of Marco Sanudo who conquered the
Cyclades in 1207 and used Naxos Island as the seat of the Duchy of the Aegean which he created.
