Ancient Cemetery in Paros

Ancient Cemetery in Paros

The ancient graveyard is in Parikia, in Paros.

The cemetery is located near the beach of Parikia. Archaeological research indicates that the cemetery was used for a very long time, from the 8th century BC to the Roman era. Because of this use, the space of the ancient cemetery offered several important findings. Amongst them stand out amphorae decorated with battle scenes that contained bones, stone and marble sarcophagi and a polyandreion (tomb), which is the only one to be found so far in the entire Aegean.

If you are taking a stroll in Parikia or walking by the beach, its worth to have a close look at the ancient cemetery.
