An impressive Greek statue atop a picturesque hill.
Also known as the Colossus of Dionysus, the Kouros of Apollonas is a gigantic statue over ten meters tall. While a Kouros is a Greek statue typically representing a young, standing male, the Kouros of Apollonas is a rough-hewed statue of an older, bearded male lying prone to the ground. While it remains incomplete and shrouded in complete mystery, the simple features of the statue cast a serene glow of a man resting in peace.
Located near the sea, the Kouros of Apollonas that is at least 3,000 years old makes for a photogenic spot for some iconic pictures.
