Moutsouna
Μουτσούνα
A small fishing harbour on the east coast. It was once the port from which emery was shipped, and its old cableways and seaside tavernas make a distinctive scene.
Moutsouna is on the east coast of Naxos. In the past, emery ore was brought down by aerial cableway and loaded onto ships for export from here, and old loading equipment and cableway remains still stand by the quay. Today it is a quiet fishing harbour, and several seafood tavernas by the port are known for their fresh catch. A few rarely visited beaches lie to the south. It takes about 20 minutes to drive down the mountain road from Apeiranthos, and it can be the last stop on a day trip to the mountain villages of the east.
