Apollonas Beach in Naxos sits on the northeastern coast of the island. It belongs to the quiet seaside village of Apollonas. Visitors can reach it by car from Naxos Town in about one hour. 

The beach stretches along a wide, curved bay. Coarse sand and white pebbles cover most of the shoreline. Although the beach looks rugged, it offers a clean and natural setting. Since it faces north, the beach sometimes gets strong winds and waves, especially in July and August.

During calmer days, the sea becomes ideal for swimming. In the summer, local tavernas open right by the water. They serve fresh seafood, Naxian cheese, and cold drinks. 

Apollonas Beach offers no sunbeds or umbrellas. Instead, the area feels open and relaxed. Visitors can also find natural shade from tamarisk trees near the edges. A few families come during the day, but the beach never feels crowded.

Just outside the village, the Kouros of Apollonas draws visitors year-round. This massive, unfinished marble statue lies in the same place where workers carved it over 2,500 years ago. The short walk from the beach to the Kouros takes only ten minutes.

In addition, the village offers small guesthouses and family-run hotels. Some visitors choose to stay overnight and enjoy the quiet after sunset. Others come just for the day before returning south. A small grocery shop and bakery serve basic needs.

Since public buses rarely visit Apollonas, renting a car remains the best option. Free parking spots sit near the entrance to the village. Along the way, visitors can stop at viewpoints or nearby mountain villages like Koronos.
