Hala says
The ancient quarries that cut the white Parian marble for the Venus de Milo, the Hermes of Praxiteles and the Nike of Samothrace, the stone ancient sculptors prized above almost any other. The site sits 7 km east of Parikia, and you can walk into the abandoned tunnels (bring a torch; they're unlit and unsupervised). Free, atmospheric, almost nobody else there.
