An absolutely beautiful sunset, but you will have to share it with half of the people in Naxos. You will need to do some reading on your own because there are no plaques to describe what you are looking at or what the history entails. You can no longer go up to the temple itself but can still get very close and appreciate the history. There is about a 5-10 minute walk from the port and stairs to get you to the temple. This is by no means a hike or anything more than the temple itself. Overall somewhat underwhelming in comparison to some of the other ancient Greek monuments and temples but absolutely worth seeing at sunset if you are on the island of Naxos.

We visited here in the early afternoon at peak season and we had the place entirely to ourselves. The location offers amazing views over Naxos Chora and the Agean. As for the temple itself, there is no historical information or anything like that, but I think that’s a positive… it really feels quite secluded and hidden despite it being the most popular attraction on the island.

Excellent experience. Short walk and talk the right hand path (takes you up slightly further and nicer view) and come down LHS. Lovey view back over Naxos. Well worth the walk

You don’t need a guide to visit and it’s a free attraction. Having visited Oia in Santorini’s a few days earlier- this is a far superior sunset location. Fantastic setting without the vast crowds of people ( although it can get busy) Also a lot cheaper here in Naxos compared with Santorini’s and the cruise ships fortunately don’t visit.

my favorite place to visit on Naxos... it's so convenient, easily accessible and free. low effort to see an ancient ruin. the bus from Agios Prokopios drops you right at the terminus station, which is adjacent to the ruin. got great pictures even though we didn't go during sunset. It was windy so that wasn't helpful but we still really enjoyed walking around the Portara. There was no signage there - so what - look it up on your phone!
