Portara & the Temple of Apollo, Naxos

Doorlike ruins of an ancient temple standing on a scenic point looking over the city & sea. The Portara of Naxos (or the Great Door) is a massive marble doorway that stands proudly as the jewel of Naxos. It lies close to the port, on the islet of Palatia. In ancient times, a strip of land connected the northern side of Naxos port to the islet of Palatia. Today, the strip of land has been replaced by a causeway. © Istock/SHansche © Greeka.com
