NAXOS (Greece): Episode 3 - Apeiranthos Village

Amphitheatrically built at the slopes of Mount Fanari, the picturesque village of Apeiranthos is considered by many as the crown jewel of Naxos. It boasts magnificent views of the Naxian mountain ranges.

Go to the Rotonda Café Bar Restaurant just a short drive outside the town to enjoy such view while indulging on their yummy delicacies.

Over the centuries, Apeiranthos has managed to retain its unique authenticity. As the locals say, while at Apeiranthos, there is no way of telling that you are, in fact, on an island.

It seems like it’s more of a northern mainland Greece village than that of a Cycladic Island. This is due to its architecture, stone built houses, and altitude. The center of the village is located at approximately 600m from sea level.

Also, its nearly 1100 proud inhabitants have kept their own distinct dialect where even a slightly trained ear reveals their true Cretan origin.

Apeiranthos is sometimes referred to as the “marble village” because many of its buildings, lanes, paved alleys, and public squares have been constructed from marble and stone.

Apeiranthos is an absolute must if you rent a car.
