It was the old capital of Naxos. Here there are some well preserved classical houses, a church and a byzanthinisches museum. The museum is opened only for announced tourist routes. In addition there are two well received apartment towers in Chalkio. Its neo-classical houses reveal the reach of its climax.
Being worth a visit is Panagia the Drossiani. The church is about 2 km from Chalkio. It probably originates from that 6. Century and is extremely interesting built.

At the summit a little well received ruins of a fortress from that are to 13. Century. The area around Chalkio is also suitable for bird watching.
