Naoussa:
Nestled in a bay on the north coast, is the picturesque
fishing port of Paros. It boasts a busy tourist trade
and offers a lively nightlife. In spite of the modern
day comfort, which Naoussa offers to visitors, it still
remains a traditional fishing village with the largest
fishing fleet in the Cyclades. Old fisherman's storehouses
have been converted into bars, cafes and ouzeries serving
starters fished straight from the sea. Archaeological
excavations have brought to light traces of civilization
in the area from the 3rd millenium b.c. A few kilometres
east of Naoussa is Ambelas, a tiny fishing village.
