Tel: +30 22850 22725
Located in the Kastro area of Hora, the city's Archaeological Museum is located within a former Jesuit School from the 17th century, where one famous former student included much-loved Greek author, Nikos Kazantzakis (1883 to 1957). The building itself is of great historical significance and is now listed as a national monument. Inside visitors will discover some very old Cycladic figures, as well as some charming terracotta figurines from the Hellenistic and Roman era.
Exhibits cover a long period and the oldest date back to Neolithic times.
Naxos museum open: daily - 08:30 to 15:00
