Apollonia (northern Crete)

Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was a city of ancient Crete, near Knossos,[1] the inhabitants of which were most treacherously treated by the Cydoniatae, who were their friends and allies.[2] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World place Apollonia at Gazi.[3]

For the ancient town also called Apollonia on the north coast of Crete, see Apellonia. For the Apollonia on the south coast of Crete, see Apollonia (southern Crete).

The site of Apollonia is near the modern Gazi.[3][4]
