Syros, Tinos and Andros to the North, Sifnos and Milos to
the SW and Serifos to the West, Ios and Santorini to the
South and 90 nautical miles from Piraeus. Paros has a surface
area of 1,865 square kilometers, with 120 kilometers of coastline.
In the middle of the island is the highest point - the peak
of the mountain Aghios Ilias or Aghii Pantes - reaching 771
meters.
NAOUSSA
Naoussa is the second biggest city in Paros, near Logaras,
but it has not been largely commercialised. You can enjoy
the catch of the day from the local fishermen at one
of its numerous taverns with ouzo or home-made wine. During
the summer, you are always bound to see traditional
song and dance festivities, in which the history and culture
of the island is depicted. The audience is invited to
participate
in some of the dancing. The beaches around Naoussa, are
many, but the most famous ones are the Kolymbithres,
the Monastery and the Agioi Anargyroi.
