On the top of the hill that dominates at Paros port and faces Delos, outside Parikia , you will find a sanctuary which is dedicated to Delian Apolloand to Artemis. It was built in the 5th century BC. It is caled Delion because it is facing the sacred island of Delos. The area surrounding Delion was also used throught ancient times for the fryktorias system , a communication method that used an organized network of flames to spread a message throughout large distance.
