The village was named after the statue of God Apollonas. God Apollo has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the sun and light, poetry, and more. Seen as the most beautiful god and the ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo is considered to be the most Greek of all gods. 

Apollonas is a seaside village in northern Naxos with 129 inhabitants. The village is 36,1 km from the center of Naxos and you can go there through the seaside road, which is the shortest one or you can go through the villages where its 43,6 km.  

The Apollonas of Naxos was formerly a port of call for ships operating the "barren line" of the Cyclades. 
Today, Apollonas of Naxos has become a tourist resort with many beachfront taverns and cafes. There is a small pier serving mainly fishing boats and small yachts. The homonymous bay is wide enough for water sports and provides safety mainly in south and southwest winds. Apollonas has two beautiful beaches, one with sand for those who love the feeling of the sand on their feet and the other is with rocks where you can seek wonderful rocks with amazing colors to take as a souvenir. 

 The apartment of Yannis and Stella is in Apollon and it is 3 minutes walking from the main beach but also from Aformoi or wild beach. 

Furthermore it has the Kouros of Apollonas, also called as Colossus of Dionysus, which is a 10.7 meter tall unfinished statue of light grey Naxian marble with a weight of around 80 tones. It is located in an ancient quarry, a few minutes outside of the village Apollonas. The statue is a kouros dating from Archaic period of Ancient Greece, around the turn of the seventh and sixth centuries BC.

Last but not least, there are hiking rales that lead to the mountain "Kalogeros", which is east of the bay of Apollo and there lies the ruins of the "castle of Kaleros", which operated from prehistoric times to the Byzantine times and the Turkish occupation. A prehistoric tower with Cyclopean walls and some of the Byzantine installations are preserved.
