Koronos
Κόρωνος
A terraced mountain village built along a gorge, once prosperous from emery mining. Its stone-stepped lanes and waterfall trails have a wild charm.
Koronos lies in the mountains of northeastern Naxos. Houses are stacked on both sides of a gorge, stone-stepped lanes wind through the village, and springs and waterfalls run through it. In the 19th and 20th centuries, villagers mined emery nearby, and the abandoned cableways and mine remains can still be seen. A trail leads on foot to Lionas Bay. The village has traditional cafés and tavernas and holds performances of traditional music during festivals. It is about 35 km from Chora. The mountain roads have many bends, so driving is recommended.
