Next to the picturesque village of Marathi, just a few kilometers from Parikia, there are the ancient marble quarries of Paros. From this area, the famous Parian marble or "lynchitis" was mined. Its name is due to the fact that its mining process took place through deep galleries in the light of the lamps.
