Interesting place. Nice little hike to get there Faragi Kouros is the second kouros and is difficult to find it! First of all take lot of water and have proper shoes. It is 15 minutes hill walking under the sun. You on the main (concrete made) and you locate a fork with a marble sign written with pen that indicate your direction to the right and up to hill. If you lose the sign the ends after 50 meters. Stone made steps drives you to ancient quarry. You can stop here if you have already visit the first kouros and you dont want to get tired (and have a little adventure of course). I think the second kouros has great archaeological interest but its not more exciting than the first one. Could be in a better shape! Stunning to see the whole mountainous area around it and feel like an ancient Greek sculptor! Interesting but unfortunately not much to see (only two Statues left), if u have enough time to spare then i would suggest to have a look. tip: visit it early morning or late noon, it is scorching hot during the day 🌞 This was an interesting archeological site that has two Kousos from around 570 BC within a short from each other. These statues were being formed in the quarry when they became damaged either during construction or during transport and were simply abandoned in place. A nice area out of the sun and an interesting place to explore. Only one kouros required a hike up into the sun. It is an adventure and interesting. Ακολουθήστε το ανηφορικό μονοπάτι και θα το βρείτε. Interesting remains of the marble extracting Quarry site in Naxos with remains of the unfinished Kouros of Faragi. This is the second Kouros in the area and relatively hard to reach as you have to uphill and follow the small leading to the site. First, I must say that the maps at the entrance are severely lacking and difficult to understand. I was looking for the other Kouros (6), and I never found it. Decided to find the spring and couldn't find it either. Found Faragi by accident. Sites of interest are not marked well, or at all. Sites aside, the country is beautiful and great for photography if done in the morning or evening. I got some good drone flyovers of the orchards and main walled areas. The istelf is more of a stroll. Bring water and use sunscreen, especially if you're from northern countries. Be prepared for injury by carrying first aid and going with someone if you're not an experienced hiker. Este Kouros exige una pequeña subida de 10min desde donde está el otro,se puede hacer con zapatillas porque el camino está bastante bien. Personalmente, vi primero ese Kouro (Faragi) y me impresionó más que el otro,también porque el otro estaba rodeado de un grupo de turistas y a este subí yo solo por el monte y llegar y ver primero los pies y luego el resto fue impresionante. El entorno también es muy bonito It's a good little hike compared to the one down by the road but it's definitely worth the walk. You'll go through 2 gates in the way to it and they just say to kindly unlock and close behind you. Very neat to see how this one was once standing and broke at the feet. Very cool historical site. Worth seeing Very remote location Needs better signage Local villager at the end selling home made products a bit dodgy This statue is on a hillside. It is quite well signposted but at one point I wasn't sure if I had gone the right way because the became really bumpy. However I continued and after a short the became even again. The statue is well preserved and the view across the countryside is stunning. Very simply… NOT worth driving to see, but 100% worth hiking/walking whatever paths from Melane or other areas as the hike/walk uncovers beautify views, Terrace vegetation, church’s, white towns, and ancient remnants. We followed AllTrails entirely for 6.1 miles and loved the walk/hike. Ran into folks in cars looking for this and it seemed silly. Also the roads beyond the towns are tight , narrow and dirt. Park and ! (We starred and finished in Melane- and at at George’s- highly recommend).
