About
Naxos has been renowned for its high-quality white marble since antiquity, rivaling that of Paros. The island's marble quarries, particularly those near the village of Kinidaros and in the mountainous interior, have been worked for thousands of years. Naxian marble was used in major ancient Greek sculptures and architectural works, including the famous kouroi statues that still lie unfinished in the island's quarries.
