Things to do in Naoussa, Paros

Naoussa is a fishing port on the north coast of Paros, not the island's capital: that role, and the ferry arrival point, belongs to Paros Town a short drive south, and Antiparos is a separate island across a narrow strait to the southwest.

From Santorini, a fast ferry to Paros takes roughly two hours, though the exact schedule and hydrofoil versus catamaran choice change the figure, so treat any single-minute estimate with suspicion.

Naoussa itself has a small fortified harbour, a Venetian-Byzantine sea fort half-submerged at its mouth, and a warren of whitewashed lanes that fill with tavernas from June to September. It works as a one-day add-on to a Cyclades hop or as a base for two or three nights, with beaches like Kolymbithres a short bus ride away.
