Do Euclidean geometry preservers parallelism of lines and area ratios?

Do the Euclidean geometry preserves the properties parallelism of lines and area ratios for any possible transformation?

I know that the Affine geometry do and I think that Euclidean geometry also do it.

The usual hierarchy is

  • Affine transformations (they preserve parallelism and ratios of segments along a line):
    • Shear
    • Stretch
    • Similarity transformations (these also preserve angles and ratios of areas):
      • Dilation (scaling)
      • Euclidean transformations or Isometries (these also preserve distance):
        • Rotation
        • Reflection
        • Translation
        • Glide reflection
