Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, September 5, 2014: Postcards from Greece – Nauossa the old harbour on Paros

 Situated on the eastern side of Naoussa Bay about 7 miles east of the main town of Parikia is this very picturesque old harbour whose fortifications date from the Venetian era of trade dominance of the Aegean and Mediterranean.

 

 Santorini-5777

 

Naoussa  is a small fishing port and old Venetian harbour with its protective walls and fortified remains. It is a charming shelter for the colourful and quaint fishing boats moored here. The boats which anchor here are completely sheltered from the strong
Aegean winds. It is also a boarding point for those wishing to visit nearby Delos the birthplace of Apollo.
