| Naxos
certainly doesn't compare to Mykonos or Santorini for wild nightlife, but
it has a lively and varied scene. Portara, just below its namesake at the
far end of the harbor, is an excellent place to enjoy the sunset. Next,
you can join the evening volta (stroll) along the paralia. Fragile (tel.
0285/25-336), through the arch in the entrance to the Old Town, is one
of the older bars in town and worth a stop. Up in the Kastro, Notos offers
a sedate evening with mellow jazz.
Day
and Night, opposite the OTE, has a good blend of music which becomes more
purely Greek in the early morning. At the end of the waterfront past the
National Bank, you'll find Vengera (tel. 0285/23-567), which doesn't open
until 9pm and doesn't get warmed up until much later; it plays mostly '70s
and '80s rock. Naxos By Night, on the way to the beach from Protodikiou
Square, has bouzouki music and dancing |
