Apollonia (southern Crete)

Apollonia (), also called Eleuthera (Ἐλεύθερα) was an ancient city on the southern coast of Crete. It was located near modern Sellia.

William Smith states that the philosopher Diogenes Apolloniates was a native of the environs of Apollonia (the Apolloniates), although other scholars claim that the Apollonia in question was the Thracian one.W.
