Hard to find (at least for us) and something of a climb, but an intriguing look at the way wealthier Venetian rulers lived ceneturies ago. More

Definetely a must see! The museum is an old Venetian mansion, its history goes back in ancient Greece. They used stones and marbles from the ancient walls and temples to build it! The view from the balcony is stupendous, the furniture, objects, pictures are unique. There is a free guide (Jane is so nice!) and the owner mr. Nickos Karavias... More

Avery interesting place to visit. Gives real feeling of an era past. Nice to get a drink in the basement and we had the added advantage of a lady pianist practicing for an upcoming concert. They run many musical events there. More

The Venetian Museum, besides having a small but worth-while collection, hosts traditional music and dancing events. On our first night in Naxos, we happened to see a poster advertising an event that very night. It was a highlight! We sampled the local citron, watched traditional dancing and heard traditional music, with explanations in English, all in the small courtyard of... More

After scouring the forums for best kept secrets, someone advised to look into the "Sunset Concert" at the museum....we thank you! The castle has been part of the Karavias family for many, many generations and they perform, along with some very talented local artists, the authentic music and dance of this Greek island. The setting is specatular, on a patio... More

This place was a surprise. Walking around the castle, we found it by accident and my wife dragged me in. We took the tour through the house, included with the ticket. This is a must-see for any visitor to the island. More

A couple at the hotel we stayed recommended us to go there for the "sunset concert" we enjoyed it a lot, there was a piano and a violin. Some seats in the back are cheaper than in the front, but there is no need to seat in the most expensive seats as the place is not so big anyway. It... More
