Statue of Mother

801_6883 [Mana]
 
The Statue of Mother is located on the island of Aegina,
3 km north of the port of Aegina,
in the area of Plakakia. [37°45'54.5"N 23°25'26.6"E]
 
The spot is beautiful and attracts any visitor to the island.
It is only a walking distance away from the house
where Nikos Kazantzakis lived and wrote his works
and from the beautiful Bouza lighthouse.
 
The Statue of Mana is the work of the well-known Greek sculptor
of the 20th century (1909 - 1993) Christos Kapralos.
It is made of bronze and symbolizes the mother
who is waiting for her son who is a sailor to return from a long, multi-day, voyage.
 
A few meters opposite the statue
you can visit the Christos Kapralos Museum to enjoy remarkable exhibits.
