Paros, Greek island in Aegean Sea, Greece.
The round-shaped island stretches 21 kilometers in length and 16 kilometers in width, with a single mountain reaching 724 meters in elevation.
Ancient Greeks established quarries on Paros to extract fine white marble, which became highly valued throughout the Mediterranean for sculpture and architecture.
The mountain village of Lefkes maintains traditional stone pathways connecting local houses adorned with characteristic white and blue Cycladic architectural elements.
Regular ferry services connect Paros to Athens' port of Piraeus and neighboring Cycladic islands, with multiple daily departures throughout the year.
The abandoned marble quarries near Marathi contain tunnels extending deep into the mountain, where ancient miners extracted the translucent Parian stone.
