Kouros of Flerio - Melanes
   

 

The little Kouros is located above a luxuriant garden named Kouros Paradise where the garden's owners have opened a nice little coffee place.

The popular name for the Kouros was Ellinas (the Greek) and has its origin in 6th century B.C. The statue is around 6,4m long and is missing his left foot and a part of his right leg.

It was meant to show god Apollo and a proof of it is the visible long hair. During that period no man was allowed to grow long hair, except Apollo.
