Naxos
Moutsouna - Emery miners memorial

Between the rails linking the arrival of the ore skips and the pier, a monument recalls the hard life of the miners, who worked in tunnels dug up to 500m deep. On the road going up to Apiranthos you can see the skips of the cable car that transported the ore and further north, along the road going down from Koronos to Lionas, there are still tunnels and wagons.
