In the citadel one of the finest houses contains a private museum about the days of Venetian dominion on Naxos, from the 13th to the 16th century.
The house is from that time, dating back 800 years and was the Venetian military headquarters and then an administrative building when the Ottomans took over.
The building itself is the main attraction here, and you’ll be given a 40-minute tour through the reception, dining room, bedrooms, library, gallery, study and onto a balcony, where there’s an unobstructed vista of the Portara.
