Abstract
At the north-west corner of the island of Naxos is a very small hamlet on the shore, which is called Apollonia. It consists of a score of poverty-stricken houses and a small quay, and is inhabited mainly by fishermen. It is a difficult landing in rough weather, and the small bay on which the hamlet stands affords little shelter.On a slight rise about 100 feet above the hamlet, but near to it, is a small marble quarry which is ancient. Not far off on the same rise is a small modern marble quarry, no longer in use, but quite recently worked. At the small quayside are jetties specially made for the use of the quarry-workers and for the export of marble from the quarry. The ancient quarry-workers probably used the same small bay for the export of their marble.
