Apollon's Stream

A very popular and historically significant attraction is the huge, semi-finished statue of the god Dionysus of Ancient Greece, which is called "Kouros". It is made out of Naxian marble and has a length of more than 10 meters. It dates back to the Archaic period (7th-6th century BC) and was abandoned half-finished to the place where ithad once begun to be sculpted, probably due to the large cracks that appeared on the marble. The place where Kouros is located is the ancient quarry of Apollon, one of the two ancient quarries of Naxos. Kouros is just a 10-minute walk from Adonis Hotel. It is also accessible by car from the main road.

Kouros
The mountain of Apollon, Kalogeros (greek for "Monk"), is a trademark of the village almost as much as the statue of Kouros. It offers unsurpassed view to any who takes the decision to climb to the top. There, apart from the view, you can also admire the ruins of the "castle of Kaloyeros", which operated from the prehistoric times to the Byzantine times and the Turkish domination. A prehistoric tower with cyclopean walls and some of the Byzantine installations (towers, rooms and tanks) are preserved. It takes about an hour to climb from Apollon to the top of Kalogeros.
