Naoussa
Νάουσα
Paros' most photogenic fishing village, with colourful fishing boats, the ruins of a Venetian castle and a harbour of restaurants that is enchanting after dark.
Naoussa sits on the north coast of Paros and is the island's most popular holiday town. Its small harbour is packed with colourful wooden boats. At the harbour entrance stand the ruins of a 15th-century Venetian castle, half-submerged in the sea, which is best photographed at sunset. Fish tavernas and bars line the waterfront, and the lights reflected on the water in the evening create a lively atmosphere. The white maze of alleys is lined with boutiques. It is about 20 minutes by bus from Parikia. Book dinner ahead in July and August. From the town, you can take a small boat to Kolymbithres and Monastiri beaches.
