Where to stay in Naousa, Paros
Naousa is the fishing harbour on the north coast — boats tied up against the quay, tavernas that spill out onto the water, and a village that stays awake late. It is the prettiest and most social corner of Paros, and the one most people picture when they picture the island.
We look after five homes here, and they are not the same kind of stay.
In the village: Parian Pearl
Sits above Naousa with a 180° view over the bay from its own terrace. It is 200 m into the village for the tavernas, cafes and the harbour, and 250 m to Piperi beach. Worth knowing before you book: the walk into Naousa is stairs down, and stairs back up again. Two bedrooms, sleeps 4, free street parking outside the door. From here the ferry port at Parikia is about 17 minutes by car and the airport about 30.
Out of the village: Aitheras Luxury Suites
Four suites set between Kolymbithres beach and Naousa port, surrounded by nature and a good deal quieter. About a ten-minute walk to Kolymbithres, and five to seven minutes by car into the middle of Naousa. Each suite sleeps 2 or 3. We would recommend having a car here.
Who Naousa suits
Couples and small families who want to walk to dinner and be in the middle of it — or, at Aitheras, anyone who would rather wake up to quiet and drive the five minutes in.
