Church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani, (Church of 100 doors, very close to the harbour) a 4th century monument, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1773. The original church was built by St. Helen, the mother of St. Constantine, according to the legend. The old town of Parikia is considered to be the biggest in the Cyclades. You will find alleys untouched from the touristic wave that reduces the beauty of these settlements.
