10 minutes. Interesting posted information. Best time for pictures, of the statue, is in the morning. In the shadows in the pm. Surrounding area is breathtaking so it's worth the drive

Fantastic views and energy, both the very site where the ancients sourced marble to create sculpture, and the seaside. Dramatic yet appeasing, a unique combination.

Quite the drive up from Naxos town (about an hour one way) to see this cool abandoned statue. Amazing scenic drive along the sea side and fun windy roads going up and down hill. Short 1 minute walk up some stairs to see the statue with a great view of the coastal village as well.

Probably worth 5 minutes if you’re passing. It’s a pretty impressive size. No tickets needed, it’s literally 50m up a path by the roadside.

We rented a quad in Chora and road them all round the island. Really cool traveling over the mountains with the clouds drifting by us then down to Kouros of Apollan. I love history and you wonder how they did when they did. You can see how they chiseled this piece out by the chisel marks left on the mountain from where it was chiseled from. Amazing. Recommend to anyone going that way even if your not into it. Don't need to buy tickets just short walk 50-75 meters from where you park. We were there Sept 26, 2025

An awkward stone structure that wasn't straightened up to stand or it was designed to just lay there.... the foot is already as big as the height of an adult, so it must be utterly heavy. Another mystery on the island was not sure of the purpose nor origin, but it became a tourist visiting site, lol

Interesting place to visit and study the statue. You can be surprised how details were done BC

Visited this beach on a day tour and personally I found it to be far nicer than Agios prokopios which is purportedly the best beach on the island.

Beautiful little bay with crystal clear water and places to eat and drink sitting right next to it.

Very nice and charming town. The beach can easily be full since is very small. However, the ambience is quite unique surrounded with cafes, local restaurants and free showers.

Apollonas is a picturesque village located on the northeastern coast of Naxos, one of the Cyclades islands in Greece. The beach in Apollonas is known for its serene and tranquil atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and escape from the crowds. The beach itself is a mix of sand and pebbles, with clear, turquoise waters that are inviting for swimming and snorkeling. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rugged cliffs and lush greenery, creating a stunning contrast with the blue sea. In the village of Apollonas, you can find traditional Greek tavernas and cafes along the waterfront, offering delicious local cuisine and fresh seafood. The area is also known for the ancient Kouros statue, a partially completed marble statue dating back to the 6th century BC, which lies in an ancient quarry nearby. Overall, Apollonas beach is a beautiful and peaceful destination, ideal for those looking to experience the natural beauty and rich history of Naxos.

Very nice small beach that becomes crowded on the afternoon hours. There is almost no wind but there are mid waves. Restaurants are in the front of the beach so you will easily find a way to taste fresh fish.

This was a nice place for a swim.
