The Location
Apollonas village is located at the North of Naxos and it is a small picturesque settlement with its own small port, a few white houses and a church adorning the center of the village.
What dominates as the first image in Apollonas are the colorful boats and the spread nets of the fishermen at the pier. Close to the pier there are fish taverns and cafes along the beach. Whenever you decide to sit you will enjoy the view of the sea.
The Beach
Apollonas village has its own beach which stretches along the length of the village. The sandy beach is ideal for families and small children and turns into pebbles as you walk a little further from the center.
