Around 1100 BC the Ionians occupied Paros and destroyed the Minoan civilization. However, a century later, in 1000 BC, the Arcadians took over under the leadership of Paris – hence the name Paros!<\/p>\n

Paros is known for its marble; nowhere else in the world is there marble of such high quality, translucent at a depth of 3.5 cm.<\/p>\n

This precious marble was used by great sculptors of antiquity for famous works such as the temple of Apollo in Delos, Hermes of Praxiteles, the Caryatids, and even for the most famous of all ancient sculptures, Aphrodite of Milos. It is well known that the ancient marble quarries have remained inactive for centuries; however, the marble for Napoleon’s tomb was mined there. The ancient marble quarries are open to visitors; they are located in Marathi, on the hills above Paroikia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1623318608744{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1623318401941{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.marazul.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/marazul-paros-santa-maria.jpg?id=721) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”BEACHES” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marazul.gr%2Fen%2Flocation%2Fparos-beaches%2F” css=”.vc_custom_1626075129039{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1623318411522{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.marazul.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Marazul_Location_Food.png?id=1133) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”FOOD & DRINK” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.marazul.gr%2Fen%2Flocation%2Fparos-food-drink%2F” css=”.vc_custom_1626075170834{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
