Menhir of Naxos
Menhir of Naxos submitted by Antonios : Standing stone of Naxos (Vote or comment on this photo)
Naxian Menhir, is very difficult to locate. in Naxos Island in Aegean.

From Chalki take the road (by car) to Potamia then Tsikalario. Leave the car and follow the path which starts at the church of Agios Stephanos,climbing up in a north westerly direction leading to the Byzantine castle Epano Kastro (upper castle). It is about half an hour's walk.

There is a cemetery dating from geometrical period (9th-8th century BC). The menhir is situated at the entrance. It is about 3m in height. If you have difficulty locating it, ask a native about "stiti petra', standing stone. There are few standing stones scattered throughout the island.
