Promenade to Portara (5)

The Portara stands at the top of the islet of Palatia, which was once connected to Naxos by an isthmus. Today, it has been replaced by a jetty and a pedestrian walkway, providing better protection for the port of Chora. A few steps and some very easy paths lead up to the ruins of the unfinished temple.
