Naxos Villages: Koronos village in Naxos
Naxos Koronos 01 Koronos Naxos: The traditional mountain village of Koronos is located at 36 kilometres away from the capital, at an altitude of 540 metres, in a picturesque valley full of vineyards. Apart from excellent quality wine, the village also produces all kind of fine agricultural products.
This village is in a dramatic setting. It’s almost built on a crevasse and there are two distinct halves to it that face each other. On one side you will notice the vineyards which sit on the hill divided by walls.
 
Nearby Koronos is standing the Church of Panagia Agrokiliotissa which feast is celebrated every Friday after the Easter Sunday with a great religious festival, full of music, dances, food and wine. The church of Panagia Agrokillotissa can be found by taking a turning to the right about 500 metres before the town. There is also a fantastic, large church which you can find in the centre of town.
In the same area can also be found the cave where Pan, Dionysus’ helper and friend, was worshiped and where clay statues of this deity have been excavated.

Our Impressions:
This is a very good stop off if you are taking the inland route to Apollonas. The area is well known for its wine and if you can try and sample some.
