Parparia is a small village of farmers and cattle-breeders at 300 meters of altitude at the west mountainside of Amani, 54km far away from Chios Town and 13km from Volissos.
Parparia is a really ancient site: Stavros Stefanidis has been studying the history and origin of this village after he found an old map of Chios in the Koraes Library telling that Parparia was at least almost 600 years old.
