Eleutherna (Greek: Ἐλεύθερνα), also called Apollonia (Greek: Ἀπολλωνία), was an ancient city-state in Crete, Greece, located 25 km southeast of Rethymno in the Rethymno region. Archaeologists have excavated the site, which is located on a narrow northern spur of Mount Ida, the highest mountain in Crete. The site is located about 1 km south of the modern city of Eleftherna and about 8 km northeast of Moni Arkadiou in the present-day municipality of Rethymno. It experienced its heyday from the dark ages of early Greek history to the Byzantine period. The importance of Eleftherna as an archaeological site led to the decision to build next to the archaeological site the impressive Archaeological Museum of Ancient Eleftherna, one of the most important museums in Greece. In the surroundings of the village you can visit the historic Arkadi Monastery, located just 6 kilometers from Eleftherna. 9 kilometers further west you can admire the pottery art in Margarites. You can also visit the Melidoni Cave as well as the area's churches and monasteries.

Eleutherna was an ancient Greek city on the island of Crete. It was located on the northwestern slope of the Ida Mountains near today's village of Eleftherna and only 25 km southeast of the city of Rethymno, near the Arkadi monument. The excavations in Eleutherna began in 1985, when the Faculty of Archeology and Art History at the University of Crete decided to begin research and shed light on the ancient city known from literary sources. A civilization was revealed that, for archaeologists, is comparable to the importance of Knossos in Heraklion. The new contemporary museum of Eleftherna is located on the site of excavations that took place over 30 years. Eleutherna is surrounded by olive trees, oaks, laurels and streams flowing east and west.
