Talk:Naxos (city)

Untitled
After a week on Naxos, in Naxos, I am still slightly confused as to the actual name of "the big city to the north of the island". Is it called "Naxos" or "Hora" (also sometimes spelled "Chora")?

From what I can google, it seems that "Hora" is generally used for "the biggest city" (capital?) on greek islands. So is it more like a term like village, town, city etc. describes a city rather than a name?

This section from the begining of the article only adds to the confusion:

Naxos City (Greek: Νάξος; Italian: Nasso; Turkish: Nakşa) is the capital of the Greek island, Naxos. [...]

The largest town is Hora, sometimes called Naxos City, with 6,533 inhabitants (2001 census). The main villages are Vivlos, Agios Arsenios, Glinado, Galanado, Melanes, and Kinidaros.

The second paragraph seems more to describe the Island of Naxos rather than the city, even though this article is, specifically, about the city. And it seems inconsistent first to refer to the city as "Naxos City", and next as "Hora". --Mukke (talk) 19:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
