Apollonas. Naxos

Apollonas is a south-facing exposed sandbar beach break on Naxos's northeastern coast, roughly 36 kilometers from the island's main town. The break generates unreliable, inconsistent waves with no particular seasonal pattern and no shelter from cross-shore winds—the area is frequently battered by northern winds that often make the water choppy and unsuitable for swimming. Left-hand waves dominate, though right-handers also form. The break begins producing rideable surf around 1 to 1.5 meters and can hold waves up to 2 meters or larger. Afternoon wind conditions are typically calmer than mornings, making later sessions more manageable. Rocks scattered in and around the break pose a genuine hazard.

Access to Apollonas beach runs from Naxos Town through Galini, Eggares, and the tower of Agia, descending to the small fishing village beach—a total drive of approximately 38 kilometers. The village itself is quiet and has retained a local character despite some recent tourist development. The area remains rarely crowded even when waves appear.

I could not find specific information about surfing history at this spot—when it began to be surfed, any notable sessions or competitions, or individual surfers associated with it. The sparse search results suggest it is a relatively recent or informal surfing destination rather than an established historical venue.
