Finally, the Ancient Cemetery of Parikia, which contains graves from ancient times, and the ancient Asklepiion health sanctuary located on the grounds of Agia Anna are also of interest.

Naoussa, the most famous fishing village

Just 10km from Parikia is the settlement of Naoussa, one of the best fishing villages in Greece.

It is an important tourist center during the summer season, as its picturesque port is flooded with people every day. The interior of Naoussa is shaped by narrow streets, whitewashed according to the traditional Cycladic style. Its continuous connection with the rest of the island, either by taxi or bus routes, gives the visitor great access to transportation.
