There are a remarkable number of small Byzantine chapels on Naxos, most dadng from the 9th to the l5th centuries.

The prosperiry of Naxos during this period of Byzantine rule meant that sponsorship existed for elaborate frescoes, many of which can still be seen on the interior walls of the chapels. Restoration has revealed multiple layers of frescoes, and whenever possible the more recent ones have been removed intact during the process ofrevealing the initial paintings. Several frescoes removed in this way from the churches of Naxos can be seen at the Byzantine Museum in Athens.

Just south of Moni, near the middle of the island, is the important 6th-century monastery of Panayia Drossiani, which contains some of the finest frescoes on Naxos.

About 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) west of sangri on the road to Halki is the Kaloritissa Chapel, a cave inside rhe hilltop ruins of a Byzantine chapel. The earliest of the frescoes seen here date from the 10th century.
