General Information
Apiranthos is widely regarded as the most picturesque village on Naxos. Situated 26 km from Naxos Town, it rests at an altitude of 650 meters between two verdant valleys. The village received its current name shortly before the Greek War of Independence. Some historians suggest the name comes from Perinthos in Constantinople, as former residents fled there to escape Ottoman persecution. Additionally, the village’s customs and dialect resemble those of mountain Cretan settlements, hinting that many locals may have Cretan ancestry.
