Photographer’s Note

The beautiful Naxos is the bigger and most fertile island of Cyclades, has connected the name and her history with splendid mythological narrations, wars, piratical raids, but also creativity. And there somewhere between t o fable and the reality, when you walk in the graphic back streets of Country and villages, discovers no one the force of person and his inhexaustible talent to create fairy neighborhoods.
The first picture that can see the visitor of Naxos while the boat approaches the harbour, is Portara. We find in the small islet Palaces, in which according to the mythology abandoned Thiseas, Ariadni. On his dominates the gate of archaic temple of Apollo, known as Portara. It was built in the means of 6th century B.C. the manufacture of however temple it was not completed never.
