Before Igoumenitsa became the center of the prefecture, Paramythia was the center, since for centuries it was a center of commercial activities as well as educational and cultural activities. However, even today it continues to have a rich market and meet the conditions of a small town. It is unique, because it is considered a traditional settlement and offers to anyone who visits it many alternative tourism activities. Finally, it has clear morals and customs throughout the year, such as the market that is set up every year on the first Sunday of October (known as Lambovos), the celebrations of Souli and the events in honor of the 49 heroes who were executed during the occupation.
