Necropolis

Tsikalario is a small plateau in the area of Chalki, approximately 14 km away from Chora. An ancient necropolis has been discovered in this place. It dates back to the Geometrical period (9th-8th century BC).

In the Necropolis of Tsikalario many interesting archaeological finds were discovered. Some of them include circular tombs, pottery, golden jewelry and lances. All these items are exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Naxos.

Close to the Necropolis of Tsikalario there is also an ancient, upright-standing stone, known as Menir. It is considered to be evidence of pre-historic presence of people in the area.
