Overview
Naousa is a stunning coastal town located on the northern tip of Paros Island in the Cyclades, Greece. Known for its whitewashed buildings, colorful fishing boats, and blooming bougainvillea, Naousa blends traditional Greek charm with a cosmopolitan flair. The town’s harbor, once a pirate hideout, is now lined with chic restaurants, boutique shops, and lively cafés, making it a favorite stop for cruise travelers exploring the Aegean.
Cruise ships anchor offshore near Parikia or Naousa, with tender boats ferrying passengers to the port. From Naousa, visitors can easily explore the island’s beaches, archaeological sites, and scenic villages. Whether you're strolling cobblestone alleys, tasting fresh seafood, or sunbathing on golden sands, Naousa offers a perfect blend of relaxation and discovery in one of Greece’s most enchanting island settings.
Wander through narrow alleys filled with boutiques, tavernas, and Cycladic architecture.
Tip: Visit early morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds and softer light.
Enjoy unique granite rock formations and calm turquoise waters just a short drive from town.
Tip: Rent a sunbed or kayak for a full beach day experience.
Explore remnants of a 15th-century fortress at the edge of the harbor.
Tip: Great spot for sunset photos with fishing boats in the foreground.
Join a small cruise to Antiparos or hidden coves around Paros.
Tip: Book ahead during summer—tours fill quickly.
