Apollonas, the lovely fishing village,located on the northern side of the island.Car rental, a full size motorbike rental, big size ATV or buggy is the best way for this trip . Apollonas has a rich history since antiquity when it was famous for its marble quarries and export of Naxian marble. In the quarries an unfinished statue was found , with a height of 10.5 meters, dating back to the 6th century BC. It is believed, by many archeologists, to represent the god Dionysus.Today the statue is still in the marble quarries and it can be visited just before the village entrance.

On the way back to the town and at about 6 km, you will find the tower of Agia. It is estimated that was built  during the 17th century and is an architectural example of the post-Byzantine era.The seemingly remote location of the tower is not irrelevant, as towers were usually built in places that would not be easily accessible in case of pirate attack so to ensure the protection of the residents – as well as the best possible supervision of the sea. 

Apeiranthos, the largest mountain village of Naxos , also known as the marble town. Apeiranthos is full of marble houses,squares and charming taverns and cafes.If you like visiting museums,Apeiranthos has five to choose from: the geological museum,the archeological museum,the folklore museum,the natural history museum and the museum of visual arts.Only 45′ from city center by a car, a medium-large size atv, a big buggy or even a large motorbike. Outside of Apeiranthos village the parking place is really helpful.
