    Hiking

    With good shoes and a flashlight, one could have explored in one or the other spot, although the Nymphe quarries are cordoned off. The history of the quarries and marble extraction is explained with good, modern information boards. Nowadays, there is no significant marble extraction on Paros anymore.

    The Ancient Marble Quarries in Marathi on Paros are the historic underground tunnels from which the famous, translucent Parian marble for world-renowned masterpieces such as the Venus de Milo originates.

    Famous ancient Greek sculptors used the material, and extraction continued intermittently until the year 1881.
