he next time you’re taking a walk through Naxos’s picturesque and historic Old Town make it a point to spend a little bit of time at this gem of a museum. Take the time to spend an hour or two at the Archaeological Museum of Naxos (tel. +30 22850 22725) and go back thousands of centuries by viewing items and artifacts left behind from civilizations that lived on Naxos and nearby islands from as far back as the late Neolithic period to Early Christian times. The Archaeological museum it self, declared an historical monument, is part of the Naxos’s interesting and varied history. Housed in a building that is part of the Venetian Castle, or, as is known on the island as “inside the walls” of the Kastro district, the Archaeological museum is testament to the continued utilization of the castle. In fact, before it housed the museum, the five-story building — originally built during the island’s Frankish period (1600-1800) — was designed to house a school of Jesuits (17th century). It ultimately, in the 19th century, became a highly esteemed commercial school that Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis attended for a year

as a teenager. Today, the Archaeological museum – divided into seven halls and terrace — boasts a collection of items and artifacts from the many and significant excavations that have taken place on Naxos and nearby Cycladic islands. The Archaeological museum’s collection includes specimens of ProtoCycladic marble idols, ceramic finds belonging to the late Mycenaean era, funerary offerings made of gold, silver and copper, glass objects of the Roman period, parts of statues and sarcophagi, as well as bronze weapons and tools. The collections of Early Cycladic marble figurines is second to only to that of the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, and there are also some very fine collections of vases dating from the Mycenaean (late 2nd millennium BC) and Geometric periods (9th – 8th c. B.C.). The first floor has an impressive collection of archaic statues of male and female figures (Kouros, Kore) as well as sculptures from the Roman period from the 6th century B.C.

In business since 1974, when Michalis and Nikos Margaritis, a father and son team, started making omelettes for the few Plaka visitors. In the following years Nikos along with his wife Maria, respectful of the traditional gastronomy of the island, using only Naxian products as well as their own produce, decided to share their knowledge of local flavors and recipes with the ever increasing number of people visiting Plaka. Nowadays, the restaurant is passed over to their son Michalis. With the changing of the guard the "small kitchen" has been upgraded to a traditional restaurant by the sea while staying true to its origins.
