Naoussa, Paros - fishing village resort for the jet set!

Naoussa is one of those pretty little fishing villages that has become a popular tourist resort. Naousa is the second largest town in Paros, and has gained a following with the jet set.

Colourful fishing boats dot the harbour of this picturesque and cosmopolitan fishing village, where you can find boutiques and bars and sit in the cafes and watch the rich and beautiful people walk by.

The fishing village is still a working harbour and you can find the yellow fishing nets, brightly painted caiques, and pretty tavernas.

The breakwater in the harbour is of interest. It is the submerged and sinking ruin of a Venetian castle.

Naoussa offers some fine beaches, the best of which is Kolimvythres with its strange rocks. For the nudists, there is Monastiri. Santa Marina, on the other side of the eastern headland is ideal for wind-surfing.
