Naoussa of Paros is without any argument one of the most beautiful settlements on the Greek islands! Every old building is very tastefully renovated, every new building is following the architectural lines of the old ones and the village itself is always clean and tidy. It is a top notch travel destination and every summer thousands of people enjoy their vacations there.

You may have sensed that there is a "but" that I am about to say. You are probably right. I mean I haven't something bad to say. It really is a wonderful place to spend your vacations. And I know many overpriced resorts that are not even close as charming as this one. But (and this is my personal opinion) I was lacking the feeling of authenticity while I was there.
Naoussa is a village with great history. You can still see part of the Venetians fortifications at the port and there are archaeological findings of more than 3.000 years old in the area. Yet in the attempt to become more pleasant for the tourists, I think that it has lost a part of its identity.
You can see in the pictures that it is a really neat and beautiful place. It just isn't the place that I would choose to spend my holidays. Of course that didn't stop me from having a good time while I was there and take many many pictures.
My favorite time is by far, the evening. As the sun is setting down and the heat of the day is fading, the scenery gradually becomes more vivid to eventually reach the magic of dusk :)

Greetings from Crete!
I don't see any beaches here. :D
place does look beautiful. does not look to crowded, that could be a plus or just a photographers trick :)
Haha you noticed! I am keeping the beaches for another post :)
No trick! It wasn't crowded because it was June, if you go there in August it is like a war zone!
It looks nice enough to be a war zone in August. My last sea vacation was in late September and i realized that September is the time to do it in our part of the woods.
September is super and so is June with longer days too :)

Tourism is always a double edged sword, isn't it? When I travel (which isn't often) I like to go to the out-of-the-way and hole-in-the-wall family owned restaurants that I find to eat at. They usually will have the best food.
Me too, it is the only way to get to know the place you are visiting and not get treated as a moving wallet!
Lovely for sure.
