8Naxos – Perfect Place To Stand And Watch The Sun Set

Naxos is the largest of the Cyclades islands off the main coast of Greece. It is here that Apollo’s temple is located, which may seem an odd place to view the sunset as Apollo is more often associated with the rising sun. But still, it was Apollo who drove his chariot into the sea off the coast of Naxos each night, so maybe it is fitting that some of Greece’s best sunsets are found at the Port of Naxos.

From the temple of Apollo, the only thing that remains is the Porta, or gateway. This is seemingly the perfect place to stand to watch the setting sun each evening. Or, if you prefer, you can take in the sunset each night you are on the island from one of the many great restaurants.
