Which one to choose in Naxos
Two churches in Naxos. Agios Sozon Chapel has no online ticket listed; Panagia Drosiani has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Naxos, Greece
There is nothing to buy and nothing to book. Agios Sozon is one of the hundreds of small whitewashed chapels scattered across Naxos and the Lesser Cyclades, built by families and villages, usually locked except on the saint's feast day and opened by whoever holds the key. Visitors reach it on foot or by hire car on the island roads, and the chapel appears on walking maps rather than in guidebooks.
Naxos, Greece
Panagia Drosiani is a small Byzantine church in the hills of central Naxos, just outside the village of Moni, about twenty-five minutes' drive from the island's main town. Entry is free, with a donation expected, and the church is looked after by a caretaker who opens it during the day; hours are not always regular, so a morning visit is safest. The best way to get there is by car or scooter, since buses to the inland villages are infrequent.
