Naoussa, the second largest village of the island with the largest fishing fleet in the Cyclades. Naoussa was fortified by a wall that led to a Venetian bastion (Kastelli), parts of which still stand and are of great historical and archaeological interest. Naoussa is one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Greece, and retains both its authentic island character and cosmopolitan glamour.
Residents of Naoussa are lively people who love to dance and sing. The wine and fish festival is held every summer, on the first Sunday in July. The Koursariki (pirate) night on 23 August is an important celebration with a representation of pirates looting the village and features fireworks and a large feast with local wine and seafood delicacies.
You may also admire the impressing frescoes and the unique design of the nearby religious monuments. Undoubtedly, the most famous are Logovarda monastery, the medieval church dedicated to Saint George (Agios Georgios) and the Cathedral of the Assumption (Panagia).
