The kouros that was never finished

Just above Apollonas, inside the ancient quarry, lies an unfinished kouros 10.7 metres long — abandoned there 2,500 years ago and never moved.

The village on the island’s northern tip is an hour and a half from Chora; its beach is coarse sand and pebble, with tavernas along the shore.
