Ayia tower

Fodor's Review:

The coast road from Apollonas to Naxos town passes, in a lush valley, the Ayia tower, once a lookout post for northwestern Naxos. At the nearby church, during the feast of the Dormition (August 15), women who had taken a vow to the Virgin used to attend the service after walking barefoot from Apollonas along the rough paths.
