Things to do in Naxos Town, South Aegean: The Best Museums
The Greek city of Naxos is steeped in mythological mystique and ancient history. The purported home of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, is fringed with glorious beaches, collisions of turquoise waters and sapphire horizons. The ruins of The Portara frame the sky like a door to another world, while renovated Venetian mansions offer a glimpse into the upper crust of yesteryear. The 13th-century castle is simply breathtaking.

At our workshop you can learn about the technique of marble sculpture, using traditional Naxos marble under the guidance of a sculptor, either individually or in a group. Our workshop also welcomes artists or amateurs who would like to work independently, providing them with all the necessary material to sculpt or paint!

This museum is beautiful. It is situated close to the old town and and building is beautiful. The tickets are reasonably priced and children and students don't pay. The exhibition is very extensive, so prepare good 2 hours for the museum. It begins from the very early ages of the formation of civilization, craftsmanship and infrastructure as a whole. Could be seen a lot of hand painted and very well preserved artefacts. The museum has a true size replica of a tomb and how people used to be buried. The development and change of religion is also well presented throughout the exhibition. Totally worth the visit.

A highlight of our honeymoon. We are both musicians (and music teachers) in the states and LOVED the performance. Beautiful musicianship, and wonderful to see what seemed to be an authentic representation of another culture and get the opportunity to participate in the music & folk dancing. The wine and honey cinnamon raki were a nice touch!!! Would highly recommend a concert to anyone visiting the area!
