Path to the ancient marble quaries nearby

Marathi is not exactly a village, since it has only a handful of buildings. It is an area a few kilometers away from Parikia, known for its ancient marble quarries. In antiquity these quarries were very famous because all Greek sculptors preferred marble from Paros for their works. Some of the shafts are open and visitors can have a walk inside at their own risk.
