Sinikía Theátrou (the Theatre District) was built from the 2C BC onwards. It contained luxurious houses built around courtyards and was decorated with superb mosaics in lively colours. There is the House of the Dolphins decorated with a large mosaic by Asklepiades of Arados; the House of the Masks, a huge two-storey house, recently restored, containing magnificent mosaics; and the theatre, from the Hellenistic era, which was a magnificent construction.

The cave of Andíparos on Andíparos Island lies about 160m deep into the slopes of Mount Ágios Ilías (400 steps). A vast chamber there, about 216m long by 203m wide and 18m high, is covered in a forest of stalactites resembling an underground cathedral. At Christmas in 1673, the French Ambassador to Constantinople had midnight mass celebrated there, attracting many people from the neighbouring islands. During the Romantic era the cave was visited by Byron and other artists.
