Some other things you might want to explore are the temple of Demetra, which is older than the Parthenon. It is said that the Parthenon was built using the technique from this temple. The temple is half ruined but its worth a visit as you can visit the small museum next to it and see some cool stuff (like the thin marble roof tiles which let the sunlight pass through the marble providing light inside the temple). Opening hours are Wednesday to Monday 8:30 - 16:00, Tuesdays are closed. Ticket 4€. The landscape of that particular area is really nice as its located in the middle of a valley on a small hill. Demetra was the goddess of crops/farming and you will realize why this location was chosen.

'Naos tis Dimitras' is a very important archaeological point on Naxos as it is said to be the prototype of Parthenonas. Also, the temple of god Demeter used to be built only on fertile grounds.
