I think Kefalonia is right - it's Assos.

Yes Lydia, you are correct, it is the side gate to the fortress at Assos - over to you again.

Did anyone manage to decipher any of the writing?

Well, I think nickandchris should have it, as they said Kefalonia first. I googled Ambrosio Cornelio and got this:

The reason I thought it was Corfu is that it says Corcyra somewhere, but it also says Creta, so, actually, that was just daft!

Thanks for the link Lydia. I'm going to show it to my husband (he understands Latin, I don't) because he couldn't translate the inscription, he said the picture was too small on the laptop screen. Excuses, excuses!

Right I have dug this out, from an old Kodak PhotoCD that didn't want to co-operate.

It is indeed a park Vicky. It is not on an island.

It looks modern rather than ancient and it looks as if the figure is holding a bowl. The Greek version of Oliver?

The statue had no inscription, so as to who it represents is open for discussion, but the area is renowned for a certain commodity which must be linked to the figure.

This park is visible on Google Earth, but that is for later. Where in Greece? - Page 30 620775

Am I anywhere near by suggesting Halkidiki? (I know it's a large area to go at!)
