Naxos, Greece
Kouros of Apollonas

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. The Kouros of Apollonas is a must-see – an impressive sight of such a big project dating back to Ancient Greece. The sheer size of it in comparison to yourself will surely leave you awestruck.
