The local Greek Vlachs of Agia Paraskevi call themselves armâń gurțań.[2] A particularity of the Aromanian dialect in Agia Paraskevi, who speak a Pindus dialect, is that they have preserved the Latin word for flower, floare, as opposed to the majority of Aromanians that call it lilice or chitcă.[2] They are all Orthodox Christians who worship at the Meteora monasteries located nearby to the village.
