Monastiri Beach & Paros Park
Μοναστήρι & Πάρκο Πάρου
A sheltered bay at the north end of Naoussa Bay and a peninsula park with trails, a lighthouse, a small monastery, and an open-air cinema.
Monastiri Beach lies at the northwest corner of Naoussa Bay, named after the small white monastery of St. John on the shore. The bay is sheltered from the wind, with clear water and beach bars and sun loungers. Next to it, Paros Park is a protected area of about 80 hectares with granite coastline and juniper woods. Several clearly marked trails lead to the Agios Fokas lighthouse and quiet small bays, and in summer evenings the open-air theater hosts film screenings and concerts. It is about 15 minutes by boat or car from Naoussa. Bring plenty of water.
