Portara (Temple of Apollo)

A monumental marble gateway from the 6th century BCE is the only surviving part of an unfinished Temple of Apollo. It stands on the small islet of Palatia, connected to the town of Naxos by a causeway, and is the most recognizable symbol of the island and one of the most famous spots for watching the sunset.
