Apollonas Naxos

A small attractive summer resort around 48
kilometers (30 miles) northeast of Naxos Town. It is a bit too
touristy in season and, by contrast, completely dead at other times of the year. Nevertheless, the beach is lovely. The reputation
of its Kouros (sixth century BC) is perhaps overrated: it is a
simple roughly-hewn statue. The journey between Naxos town and
Apollonas, on the other hand, is very beautiful. The countryside is
one of contrasts: green villages, mountains and sudden peaks.
