Driving Tips in Naoussa

Of course, driving in a foreign country comes with its own set of challenges so read our handy tips to help acquaint you with local driving conditions.

  1. In Paros, we drive on the right side of the road and cars coming from this side have the right of way.
  2. The narrow, well-worn roads add to the rustic charm of the island but require extra care when navigating in your car rental. Paro’s roads are known to be very slippery, even in dry weather, and can be subject to potholes. Always drive defensively and allow additional stopping time to avoid accidents.
  3. The speed limit is 50 km/h (30 mph) in built-up areas and 90 km/h (56 mph) on the highways.
  4. Watch out for pedestrians and animals.
  5. It is customary to drive on the hard shoulder to allow cars behind you to overtake. Solid white lines are often ignored and drivers may flash their lights to indicate they want to get past. It’s courtesy to allow them to do so.
  6. There are tightly winding hairpin roads as you travel through the stunning mountainous regions of Paros. Extra care is required here as road signs don’t always give a good indication of sharp turns that may be ahead.
  7. Refueling your hire car is a simple process and often includes a full service which means you don’t even have to leave your car. However, be aware that many fuel stations will require cash payments and most will close by 10 pm so be sure to fill up earlier in the day wherever possible.

Top Attractions Naoussa

  • The Venetian Fortress of Naoussa in Paros Greece, Cyclades:

 The Venetian Fort of Naoussa is located in the old port and it is the most characteristic spot of this lovely town. Originally constructed in the 15th century by the Venetians, the fortress was used as a watchtower for pirate and enemy attacks and as a front line in times of war. Its location was very convenient for surveilling the Aegean Sea and due to its architecture, it was very difficult for enemy ships to approach the close port where commercial ships used to moor.

Today only part of this fort survives a half-submerged watchtower that is connected to the mainland with a short path. Originally there was a second watchtower that no longer survives. These towers had a large iron gate that made commercial transactions easier. Just opposite the port of Naoussa, there are today lovely bars and fish taverns. In the past, on the location of these bars, there were Venetian storehouses. After the Venetians, the fort was conquered by Russians and finally by Ottomans.

  • The Museum of Byzantine Art in Naoussa, Paros:

The Byzantine Museum of Paros is located at the village of Naoussa, right behind the church of Ekatontapiliani. In this museum, extraordinary artworks are on display from the prehistoric and Roman times and constitute a significant part of the history in the Cyclades islands. Most of the objects of art appear smooth, rigid and like being suspended. The eyes are always large. The backgrounds are most of the time painted golden. The style of Byzantine art was clear and simple.

The museum is housed inside the renovated monastery of Agios Athanasios, in the western part of Naoussa in Paros. The church hosts some breathtaking frescoes and paintings. Entering the yard, you will see several architectural parts from different sides of the ancient town, statues and other findings. Skillful craftsmanship in woodwork, Roman sculptures and icons painted by the local artists are also available at the museum.

  • Wine Museum in Paros

Wine Museum in Naoussa, Paros: The beautiful town of Naoussa is home to the Paros Moraitis Wine Museum, one of the most interesting places one should definitely visit. This newly built museum is located strategically at the hub of this fishing town displaying a vast collection of wines made by local producers. The museum was founded in 1910 and has since passed from generation to generation. The renovated premises that house the winery since 2001 include the winemaking center, production, and storage areas while at the old winery building visitors can see the underground aging cellars, the wine museum, and the wine tasting hall.

The vision of Manolis Moraitis, a third-generation winemaker is to preserve the authentic character and quality of the local vineyards. It is worth noting that the historical Parian vineyards have roots in the Cycladic era (3,200-2,000 BC). Moraitis wines are characterized by their freshness and their great aromatic concentration.

Moraitis winery owns a huge area of organic vineyards in the most fertile areas of the island, featuring a wide variety of Greek wines such as Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Vaftra, and Mandilaria. Today, the average production of the famous winery reaches 300,000 bottles a year and more than 30% is exported to USA, Canada, England, German, Italy, and Cyprus. The museum’s collection offers an overview of the Parian wine-making history and tradition as well as interesting insights on the different types of equipment used in the manufacture and other agricultural tools for the vine growing population.

  • Paros Agios Antonios Church:

Located in Naoussa of Paros, lies one such significant structure, the beautiful church of Agios Antonios. Its proximity to the harbor is another factor that makes this small church easily accessible. Built-in traditional Cycladic style architecture, this whitewashed building retains the true charm of Greece. It is built near the fishing harbor, as it is believed to be the protector of all the fishing boats.

This quaint church is held with much reverence by the local people and the 17th of January every year is celebrated as the name day of Agios Antonios with great enthusiasm and aplomb. Celebrations also take place in the monastery of Agios Antonios on Kephalos hill. Locals sincerely believe that the church of Agios Antonios watches over them every time they go into the sea to fish.

Naoussa also has many beautiful churches to visit such as the main church, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, which is located on the highest spot of the village or the Church of Agios Nikolaos (Saint Nicholas) which houses an interesting Byzantine Museum exposing fine and valuable 13th century icons.
