The jetty is connected to the portara's island and is surrounded by aqua water.
In mythology, Naxos is where Zeus was raised, so the island has many sites dedicated to him, but the most prominent memorial is to Apollo. The portara sits at the top of a small hill that is connected to the mainland by a narrow walkway, so it makes a little island. The portara is the only thing on the island hill, which sits elevated from and away from the town, so you can see it from most places.
Our hotel owners, Michael and Irene, were so wonderful to us. Irene made some traditional Greek dessert topped with creamy, caramel ice cream. She insisted that we stop to enjoy some dessert before heading out for dinner. We loved Hotel Adriani!! http://www.hoteladriani.com/
