Kouros
Coachloads of day-trippers come to see the gargantuan 6th-century BC kouros (male statue) that lies in an ancient marble quarry a short walk from Apollonas, on the north coast (both the inland and coastal routes from Naxos Town are spectacular). This 10.5m statue apparently represents Dionysos, and may have been abandoned, unfinished, because it cracked.
