What are the best places to stay in Naoussa Paros? Naoussa is a pretty small harbour town with narrow streets and white walls on the island of Paros in Greece.
It’s gaining more and more popularity, as it’s a perfect mix of elegance and Cycladic atmosphere.
Quick links to organise your trip to Paros and Naoussa:

A few words about Paros Island
Paros Island is the third-biggest island in the Cyclades archipelago. It’s easily reachable by ferry; if you look at the map, it’s somewhere ‘in between’ from Santorini to Mykonos and close to Naxos.
Next to Paros is another small island, Antiparos, which you can visit during a one-day trip.
Paros Island is famous for its beaches. Also, it’s known for Parian marble, which, for example, was used for the Venus de Milo sculpture.
Paros has a small airport, with mostly flights from Athens, but also a few international charters during the high season. Most visitors, though, arrive by ferry.
(Remember to book your ferry tickets in advance, especially if you are travelling during the high season.)
Ferries arrive in Parikia, the island capital. Your first impression may not be the greatest, and the harbour in Parikia is not the most beautiful. But if you only get deeper into the streets, you will see the typical Cycladic atmosphere, town, and streets. Next to the ferry port, there is also a bus station where you can take busus to other villages, for example, to Naoussa. It’s a short drive, around 10 km. The bus tends to get quite busy, as Naoussa is a must-see destination on Paros Island.
Paros Accommodation
You can find a lot of restaurants and places to stay in both towns. Don’t expect here big hotels in ‘all-inclusive’ style. It’s rather a small boutique or family guesthouse accommodation style.
Generally speaking, Parikia is a little bit cheaper than Naoussa; there are more small private pensions or rooms to rent than hotels; and it’s also less elegant. Naoussa town has a nice and pleasant vibe. It’s a picturesque fishing village, but with more elegance, it’s more ‘chic’ or, so to say, sophisticated (but not ‘too much’ I think). It also has more boutique hotels and elegant pensions to stay in. Actually, it wasn’t really easy to choose just a few for this article!
You will enjoy Paros whichever town you choose. However, I would encourage you to stay in Naoussa, even just for one night. It will give you the option to enjoy the harbour and its atmosphere in the evening. Let’s see where to stay in Naoussa, Paros.
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: Boutique Hotels
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: Hotel Senia
I just have to start with this hotel, as it was one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in, especially because of the beautiful pool with the sea view and the great breakfast.
There are different options when it comes to the rooms. I’ve stayed in the standard room; it was fine, but it was indeed just standard and didn’t have a balcony. There are also rooms with a sea view and luxurious rooms with own hot tube.
The highlight of the hotel is the infinity pool. It’s rather small, but it has an amazing view during the day and at sunset. There is also a pool bar.
Breakfast was great, with a lot of variety and local food, for example, Greek pastries.
The hotel is within walking distance of the port and centre of Naoussa.
Hotel Senia is a really beautiful hotel in a very Cycladic style. Recommended.
Paliomylos Spa Hotel
Paliomylos Spa Hotel has a swimming pool, a poolside bar, breakfast in the morning, and a beautiful design. Aadditionally, it has a spa centre.
Saint Andrea Seaside Resort
Saint Andrea Seside Resort is a bit bigger hotel with great design. Its 4-star accommodation with a swimming pool and restaurant. It has private balconies and a seafront location; however, it’s further from Naoussa, a longer walk or taxi ride.
Adonis Hotel Studios and Apartments
Adonis Hotel Studios and Apartments is a hotel just next to Piperi Beach. It’s around 500 metres from the centre of Noussa, and it has great opinions about the atmosphere and staff.
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: Parian Boutique Hotel
The view and terrace are what caught my attention most in Parian Boutique Hotel.
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: Apartments
In the Greek Islands, one of the most common forms of accommodation is private apartments and rooms. Sometimes they are in beautiful villas; they may have a swimming pool or breakfast, etc., like a small hotel but with more privacy. There are many great apartments in Naoussa; it wasn’t easy to choose which one to describe.
Review these few apartments in Naoussa, all in pretty Cycladic style, so maybe you can find your dream one:
Katerina Mare
Rooms and apartments with a sea view and pretty balconies. Katerina Mare also has a great location, close to the beach and the centre.
Hebe Parian Living
In Hebe Parian Living you will find apartments with an elegant design, a balcony, and an equipped kitchen. It’s a great idea if you like cooking or just visiting food markets and supermarkets and want to try local food (for example, when sitting on your balcony).
White Cliff Naoussa
White Cliff Naoussa is another place with a stylish interior and a fully equipped apartment with a kitchen annex, living room, and balcony.
I know I speak a lot about balconies, terraces, and the view, but believe me, in Greece it matters a lot! It’s a higher level of your holidays when you can drink coffee in the morning or wine during sunset time on your balcony with a view. Cyclades are even more exceptional, as white villages are extremely picturesque. Plus, the smell of the air, the combination of herbs, the Aegean Sea, and warm ground, it’s good to use it and sit outside.
Villa Isabella
Villa Isabella caught my attention because of its terrace with an amazing view. It’s very close to the beach and has very good opinions from people who have already stayed there.
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: Kallisti Paros
Kallisti Paros right away caught my attention because of the beautiful sun loungers at the outdoor pool, the original and stylish interiors, and the great-looking breakfast. It’s a short walk from the beach and the centre.
I hope you already managed to find your top of Paros hotels, or actually of hotels in Naoussa. I have to stay any time I go to the Greek islands; it’s pretty tough to choose accommodation. So many hotels and pensions look welcoming, and when reviewing pictures, I already ‘see myself there’.
If you are not sure yet, have a look at these rooms and apartments: Quartano Luxury Cycladic Residence, Alexandros Apartments, or Zoumis Residence.
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: Villas
Are you coming to Greece with family or a larger group of friends? You can rent your own villa with a few bedrooms and a terrace.
In KYMA Seafront you will have a sea view, as the house is placed just next to the sea.
Hara’s Villa has a beautiful living room and terrace.
Best Places to Stay in Naoussa Paros: More Budget-Friendly Options
If you don’t want to stay in more luxurious accommodation, don’t need a private pool, etc. and prefer something more budget-friendly, have a look at these apartments. One is in Naoussa, the second in Parikia.
Augusta Studios and Apartments
Augusta Studios is cheaper than other places presented earlier. It’s maybe less elegant and older, but it still has a Greek-style colours design and balcony. If you are searching for a more budget-friendly place, it seems like a good option.
Viva Margarita
Viva Margarita is in Parikia, in the centre of the town, within walking distance of the ferry. I’ve stayed there for one night, and I think is an excellent place for a quick stay. It felt more like a hostel than a hotel, especially because of the vibe, owners, and colourful interior. It was quite simple, but it’s a good place to stay if you want to be close to the ferry. I wouldn’t recommend it for a longer, ‘typical holidays’ stay, though.
Paros is one of the most beautiful Greek islands, and Naoussa is one of the most beautiful villages on the Cycladic islands. The combination of views of Naoussa Bay, the port, charming streets, trendy hotels, and the best beaches in close proximity makes it a perfect place for holidays.
Don’t search any longer, and book your stay in Naoussa, Paros, now.
