About 15minutes drive we will make our forth visit to Apiranthos Village, is Amphitheatrically built at the slopes of Mount Fanari, it boasts magnificent views of the Naxian mountain. The feeling one gets is more that of a northern mainland Greece village than that of a Cycladic Island. This is partly due to its architecture and stone built houses. We can visit 5 museums, the Apiranthos Archaeological Museum (tickets not included) the Geological Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the Visual Arts Museum and
the Folklore Museum or just stroll through the alleys on your own to explore and make photos.
Duration :30-40m.
Our last visit is Moutsouna Beach on North east coast. Moutsouna used to be the port of Apiranthos on the eastern coast of the island which once was a busy export harbour when emery was in high demand. The emery train which transported the once valuable cargo of emery from the mines to this quaint little harbour was at its height, long, long ago. It has remained as is almost as a throwback in time since then and one can still see the cable car system and towers in place.
Moutsouna has 2 separate small beaches, both with fine sand. The first beach is situated right in front of the seaside taverns and it is called Ai Giannis. The second beach follows next and it is named Tigani. There will be enough time to swim and to have lunch at local fish restaurants or local taverns.
