It is for many the most beautiful country of the Cyclades, as it is built in the center of the island between small rocks. Its small whitewashed alleys, the traditional Cycladic architecture in the houses and the authenticity of the island make it an attraction for the visitor. Spend a morning wandering in its alleys, relax in the cafes to taste a traditional Cycladic breakfast, visit the Castle of the island where it will give the visitor an unforgettable experience and a view of the northern houses with wells and olive trees.
The port of Hora is Katapola, where the first Horaites (people from Hora) came and built houses and shops when the Greek State in 1832 put an end to the depredations of pirates.
The museum contains some interesting pieces excavated on the island including remnants of the Minoan civilisation
The museum is located in Chora and housed in a traditional old mansion known as Sala tou Gavra
