On the north side of Paros, discover Naoussa, a peaceful fishing village where locals enjoy everyday life. Known for its traditional character and authenticity, Naoussa offers visitors a unique glimpse into Greek island life. Stroll along the picturesque port, admire whitewashed houses adorned with flowers, and see octopus drying at traditional taverns and ouzeries. Enjoy a meal or a glass of ouzo by the water, soaking in the charming atmosphere and feeling like one of the locals.

Naoussa is also home to the remains of the Venetian Fort, located in the old port. Built in the 15th century by the Venetians, the fortress served as a watchtower to protect against pirate and enemy attacks, providing strategic surveillance of the Aegean Sea. Today, only a half-submerged watchtower survives, connected to the mainland by a short path, offering a fascinating glimpse into the island’s historic past.
