Agairia
Below the marble quarries, on the eastern slope of the mountain, is the village of Kostos. It is a small, quaint village with white houses, churches and narrow streets ideal for a short walk. Sites include the church of Agios Panteleimonas, the patron of the village, which is situated next to a little park. The churches of Agia Marina and Anastasi are also found in the village. The settlement of Marathi is nearby. There is a path leading from the settlement to the ancient quarries.
Kostos hosts three festivals, on 24 June in the memory of Athanasios the Parian, on 17 July (Agia Marina) and on 27 July (Agios Panteleimonas).
