An ancient marble quarry on the island of Naxos, exploited during the archaic and classical periods, that is located on high ground immediately south and west of the modern beach village of Apollonas. The quarry is famous not least for the presence of an unfinished statue, over 10 meters in height, often referred to as the "Apollonas Kouros".
