Apollonia (north coast of Crete)

Apollonia (Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was an ancient city of Crete, near Cnossus,^[1] the inhabitants of which were most treacherously treated by the Cydoniatae, who were their friends and allies.^[2] The site is on the coast near Armyro, or perhaps approaching towards Megalo Kastron, at the Ghiófero.^[3] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World tentatively place Apollonia at Gazi.^[4]
