In Parikia town, houses are built and decorated in the traditional Cycladic style, with flat roofs, whitewash walls and blue-painted doors and window frames and shutters.
Shadowed by luxuriant vines, and surrounded by gardens of oranges and pomegranates, the houses give the town a picturesque aspect.
On a rock beside the sea are the remains of a medieval castle, built almost entirely of the marble remains of an ancient temple.
Similar traces of antiquity, in the shape of bas-reliefs, inscriptions, columns, and so on, are numerous.
On a rock shelf to the south are remains of a precinct which was dedicated to Asclepius.
In addition, close to the modern harbour, the remains of an ancient cemetery are visible, having been discovered recently during non-archaeological excavations.
