The Apollonas beach also called Apollon beach, we find it in the northern part of the Naxos island about fifty kilometers from the capital Chora.

A beautiful and remote bay with a larger part from the stony coast and exposed to the winds, while the other part has a sandy beach and the thing that unites them is undoubtedly a crystalline sea, clear with iridescent blue colors.

A favorite destination for Greek tourism and for those who like to do a bit of discovery arriving here, away from the noise and overcrowding, Apollonas beach with the homonymous fishing village behind it, is ideal for those who want a day in complete relaxation but in contact with nature. There are no sunbeds and umbrellas, everything is free so if you decide to spend the day remember to bring an umbrella or a hat to protect yourself from the sun.

The very characteristic and not at all fashionable village offers a wide choice of taverns on the sea with a splendid view and a rich menu of traditional dishes based on fresh fish and meats raised directly by the locals. Despite the tourist development of recent years, the Apollonas village still maintains that ancient flavor where everything flows at the rhythms of the past and in fact if you also want to stay here for your holidays in Greece, you should book well in advance because it has only a few guest houses .

The Apollonas beach, in the less windy part, is much loved by families with children because being protected from the winds it has calm waters where the little ones can have fun. For lovers of hiking, Apollonas beach is an excellent starting point for walks dedicated to exploring the area, perhaps towards Mount Kalogeros where there are some ruins of the medieval period of the castle with a magnificent view of the archipelago, for those who have a passion for fishing will have a lot of satisfaction given the generosity of the sea in this stretch.

To combine with a day on the Apollonas beach, a visit to the two marble quarries considered among the most ancient in Greece where it is also possible to see one of the Kouroi the massive statues of the seventh century BC representing the God Dionysus, lord and protector of Naxos (in reality some claim that the choice is in honor of Dionysus others of the God Apollo).

It would be much better to have your own vehicle. Go north from the paved road and follow the road signs. If, on the other hand, you are not autonomous, buses leave from the port of Chora towards theApollonas village, but check the timetables carefully because according to the period they change and above all inform the driver where you want to go because sometimes the stops are not respected.

Certainly one of the places less frequented by tourism you want a little because you want far away because it is little known but no less interesting than others. We recommend adding it to the list of things to do in Naxsos, it will be a pleasant and different day to remember.
