Naxos viewpoints: the Portara and mountain villages
The Portara, the giant marble doorway of an unfinished temple of Apollo on the islet by the harbour, is Naxos's essential sunset viewpoint. For panoramas, drive up to the mountain villages of Apiranthos and Filoti on the slopes of Mount Zas, the highest peak in the Cyclades, where the whole island and the surrounding sea unfold below you.
