Lionas village is located at the north east of Naxos, at about 40km from Hora and 14km from Apiranthos. Access to Lionas is an experience by itself, as the descending of the winding road reveals the beauties of eastern Naxos. The beach is totally rewarding after this "adventurous" down-route with white pebbles and deep crystal cyan waters, totally relaxing and reviving the visitor. Like with Moutsouna region, during the ride to Lionas one can see the remains of old emery mines and a part of the old emery air way.
