The Fountain in Agia Paraskevi, Amari

ABOUT

In the square of Agia Paraskevi, Amari, make sure to take a refreshing break.

Here, you’ll find the village fountain, featuring a beautifully crafted stone facade with a single spout. Above the spout, there’s a small niche that once held a shallow metal cup—known as a tasiused by locals to drink the fresh water.

The fountain’s facade is adorned with intricate reliefs, and you can spot the date 1888 carved into the stone. Below the spout, a series of basins served practical purposes in the past, from watering animals to washing clothes.

A piece of history that’s still flowing, it’s a delightful reminder of the simple yet ingenious ways communities once relied on such landmarks.
