Frequently Asked Questions

Off Naoussa on the island's north coast, with tenders landing passengers at the small fishing harbour. At the mouth of the channel, the half-submerged remains of a Venetian fort recall the days when Venice watched over the Aegean.
Yes, and it is the best way to do it. Behind the waterfront the village tightens into a maze of whitewashed lanes too narrow for cars. Put the map away: Naoussa is best wandered at random.
Naoussa and its lanes in the morning, then a sea shuttle to Kolymbithres or Monastiri for a swim. If you prefer heritage, about twenty minutes by road takes you to Parikia and its church of a hundred doors.
Yes, the small beach at Piperi borders the village, three minutes from the quay. For a more dramatic setting, sea shuttles cross the bay to Kolymbithres in about ten minutes.
A beach where blocks of wind-polished granite form sculpted, almost lunar coves, across the bay from Naoussa. The water is clear and shallow, and the shuttle ride is already a pleasant outing in itself.
The Panagia Ekatontapiliani, one of the oldest Christian sanctuaries in Greece, with foundations dating to the fourth century. Its shaded courtyards and low chapels offer welcome coolness in the middle of the day.
For its translucency, sought after by sculptors across the ancient Mediterranean. The Venus de Milo herself was carved from the island's stone.
Lefkes, the former capital built on a mountainside, lines pale stone houses along cobbled lanes where donkey hooves still echo. The trip is worthwhile for anyone who prefers heights to beaches.
Grilled fish and tomato salad with local cheese at a harbour taverna, almost in the water, with a glass of island white wine. Sweet tooths should finish with hot loukoumades drizzled in honey.
The euro and Greek, with English widely understood in both Naoussa and Parikia. Cards work in most shops; keep cash for the sea shuttles and small stalls.
