Naxos Places to visit Apirathos  

Discover the traditional beauty of the marble village, with its alleys made from marble at the foot of mountain Phanari. Apirathos is a very old place and had already existed, before it was populated by Cretan refugees after the battle of Crete (1850/1851). Unfortunately there isn't any real information about the village's older past and the inhabitants. 
Apirathos' style is a mixture of reminders from the Venezian time (towers and archways) and Cretan influence.
