Paros is situated approximately 3 to 5 hours by boat from Athens and half an hour by plane. It offers a multitude of nice places to visit and unforgettable beaches –both isolated and popular, where you can take part in all water sports. The big number of monasteries around the island enriches the cultural atmosphere. Most of the villages are situated around the coast, each with its own small picturesque port and fishing boats, the most spectacular being the small port of Naoussa! View from Mimihouse: the countryside of Naoussa and the bay of Kolimbithres.
