Located just off the road, walk up the stairs to the site. The site is relatively well signposted, but has no information regarding the actual kouros. You can get directly beside or climb above for a different view.

The kouros is much larger than the one at Melanes. After parking along the road, it was a steep but thankfully brief walk up the hill. Go a little further uphill for a good overlook down onto the gigantic rough sculpture. Bring a hammer and chisel if you wish to finish it.

We rented a car for a day’s drive around Naxos. This was our first stop after leaving Naxos Town. We followed the signs and map the best we could and at one point thought we had passed the turn. After finding it we parked near the sign and walked through the little farm to the kouros. The sign indicates the leg broke while it was being moved downhill from the quarry. Later at our hotel a local said the Germans broke it during WWII. We think the former. We read there might be a stand nearby for refreshments at a nearby farm but we didn't walk this way to see it.

We visited the Kouros statute as part of our one-day tour of Naxos Island. We climbed about 75 steps to reach the statute which was left abandoned in a quarry by ancient craftsmen. On the way up the steps, on the right side, there are some very interesting black and white stone formations. The stones have the appearance of a herd of cattle grouped together and petrified for eternity as they stand guard at the entrance to the quarry.

Very interesting to see this half finished statute. The size is really impressive and hard to imagine how they could have planned to move it almost 2000 years ago. Easily accessible from the road and spectacular view of the bay and small village of Appollon below.

This 10-meter unfinished statue is impressive. The hike is a short one, although uphill. There are stairs, but it is not handicapped accessible.No signs of explanation, but still interesting. A nice way to stretch our legs. And the view to the beach resort town of Apollon is quite pretty.

But other than a large concrete statue with a broken leg and left there as unable to transport back in the day to the rich families who had placed the statue order, don't expect fireworks.

This was our last stop on our day long tour in our little car. There was only one other car parked, and we were the only ones visiting the statue at the time. Nice , pleasent walk through green surroundings until you come upon the statue. Something we werent expecting, and quite an experience. Good to sit here and imagine were this all started, and how it was moved and left at this place. Good views of the surrounding countryside as well. Really a worthwhile stop.

How did the Ancient Greeks carve these statues out? This Kouros is huge, its photos do no justice to its imposing size! Also, the views from the top of the Kouros site is breathtaking!

, impressive statue, just a short walk from the road. Parking is a bit of a hassle, there is a small park if you walk a bit further.
