The beautiful seaside city that’s a ‘mini Santorini’ but without thousands of tourists
Naoussa, Paros is a must-visit for those wanting to escape the crowds of nearby Santorini.
Many tourists opt for a holiday in either Mykonos or Santorini- but to experience Greece's more authentic side, you need to get off the beaten track.
Whitewashed Paros is a great place to start if you're wanting to explore the other islands of the Cyclades.
Naoussa, the main port city, comes to life during summer.
Visitors can indulge in al fesco dining, quaint bars and a plethora of shops stocking linen clothing and beach essentials.

The island boasts glorious views in the day, but it is when the sun starts to set that it really comes alive.
As the golden hour shines a warm glow upon the town, visitors fill streets, terraces and rooftops to enjoy a cocktail or authentic dish.
There is evidence of wine being produced by the Greeks for more than 6,500 years and you can learn more about it with a visit of the Moraitis Winery, just outside of Naoussa.
With a history dating back generations, this family-owned winery proudly showcases the island’s winemaking traditions.
The 45 minute tour ends with a wine tasting of three or five wines that can be paired with a cheese tasting.
Visiting Moraitis Winery is one of the best things to do in Nouassa if you are a wine enthusiast seeking an authentic and enriching experience.

The island of Paros is known for its pretty beaches, with a few being located on the North Coast, a short drive away from Naoussa.
Monastiri Beach was named after the church on a nearby cliff, it is part of the Paros Environmental and Cultural Park, dedicated to preserving the beautiful wildlife.
What was once a quiet cove, is now home to a trendy beach club with bars and restaurants beneath prarsols to shelter guests from the strong winds.
Perikopetra Beach is a fan favourite, the area is not well known so you are quite likely to be there almost alone!
The beach is only accessible via a hiking trail from the car park, making it slightly difficult to get to, but it is certainly work the trek.
