Naousa, Paros
Naoussa is a village in the Cyclades. It is located north eastern corner of the island of Paros. In the summer "Naoussa" attracts many tourists from all Europe because of the perfect climate and the wonderful nearby beaches like "Kolympithres". Its population is 2,870. In the summer it is warm and sunny almost every day. During the winter it is cold and occasionally snowy. “The spiritual center of Naoussa is the tiny fishing harbor, packed tightly with traditional fishing boats and surrounded by restaurants and cafes. Its almost postcard perfect. I say almost because in the afternoon you practically have to wait on line to take a picture. According to Andrea, who visited Naoussa several years ago, if you come here at night you do have to wait on line if you want to walk the little promenade around the port, past the cafes, bars and restaurants. But at 9am the place is perfect and you can take great pictures without some geek with a camera ruining your shot.”[1]
