Naoussa :
Naoussa Paros: The beautiful picturesque fishing village of Naoussa is located in a huge bay in the northern part of Paros, 10 kilometres east from the capital, Parikia.

Naoussa is considered to be one of the prettiest villages in the Cyclades and, despite the development of tourism, this lovely village has manage to keep its authenticity, its character and its charm, with its whitewashed and flowered little houses and its tiny whitewashed churches and chapels, surrounded by labyrinth-like narrow, stone-paved streets.






The lovely village of Naoussa is built amphitheatrically around a tiny picturesque port where little colourful fishing boats called caiques are mooring and where remains of a Venetian castle can still be seen, creating a particular and enchanting atmosphere.

Little taverns and ouzeries (places where we drink ouzo and eat appetizers, called �mezedes�) are boarding the port, creating a friendly and traditional atmosphere.

Even if Naoussa is much quitter than Parikia, it also offers animated bars and night-clubs, opened until dawn.

Naoussa, Paros is also famous for its numerous beautiful golden beaches, filling the huge bay of Naoussa, such as Kolymbithres Beach, Agios Ioannis, Agioi Anargyroi, Monastiri and much more. From the wildest and more secluded beach to the fully organized one, those beaches are ideal for everyone, filling every need. All can be reached by footpaths, asphalted road or by caiques (small fishing boats).

Naoussa also has many beautiful churches to visit such as its main church, Kimissis tis Theotokou (the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin) which is located on the highest spot of the village or the Church of Agios Nikolaos (Saint Nicholas) in which is housed an interesting Byzantine Museum exposing fine and valuable 13th century icons.

Every 23rd of August, nine days after the Assumption of the Virgin, a great festivity is celebrated in Naoussa, during which a representation of the pirates raids is performed by the young people of the village, fireworks are thrown and dancing, eating and drinking is continuing until dawn.

Many archaeological sites and monuments can be found in the area surrounding the lovely village of Naoussa and are very interesting to visit.
