Tubby Black Kitty
The Tubby Black Kitty is not a traditional architectural sight, but a charming, unofficial landmark of Naxos Town, often found near the Kastro or by the harbour.
This particularly friendly black cat has over the years become a popular photo subject and a symbol of the island's relaxed way of life. Its presence highlights the deep connection Greeks have with their stray cats, which are often lovingly cared for here. You'll often find it dozing in the sun or on one of the many chairs outside the tavernas. Look out for its distinctive, plump physique. For an undisturbed photo, it's best to observe it from a distance and not pursue it. Respect its personal space. You'll best encounter it in the early morning hours or late afternoon, when fewer tourists are around and it's often searching for food.
