Apirantos - a picturesque mountain village in the central part of the Greek island of Naxos. The settlement is located approximately 30 km north-east of the capital of the island of the same name, at the foot of Mount Fanari, at an altitude of 550-650 meters above sea level. This is one of the biggest settlements of the island and is considered by many travelers - one of the most beautiful and interesting villages of Naxos with a rich history and traditions.

Features local dialect and traditions Apirantosa very similar to the mountain village of Crete. This led scientists to think that Apirantos likely was founded originally from Crete (presumably in the 10th century). The first written mention of the settlement are found in the records of Italian traveler Christopher Bundelmonti and date back to 1420 year.

Apirantos - a magnificent example of medieval architecture in stone and marble, which so clearly shows the influence of the Venetian era. It's an incredibly beautiful village with narrow cobbled streets with arched ceilings, cozy small squares, stone, mostly two-story houses, Venetian defensive towers and ancient temples. Due to the abundance of marble parts Apirantos often called "the marble village".

One of the main attractions Apirantosa considered Apiratitsissa church - one of the oldest and most beautiful churches of Naxos. Also of interest are the church of Agios Chrysostomos and (1656), Agia Paraskevi (1708), Virgin Katopoliani (1685) and the church Teoskepasti (1663). Special attention certainly deserve Apirantosa and excellent museums - Archaeological Museum, Folk Art Museum, the Geological Museum and the Museum of Natural History.
