During the feast of Osios Athanasios Parios on 24 June, or during the souma season in autumn, enjoy a visit to a family-run coffee house in Kostos, a village located along old trails that lead from Parikia and cross Paros all the way to the sea.

Steeped in history, Parikia's name hails from the Middle Byzantine years (7th century), when "Pariki" signified settler or foreigner. Today, we understand that it was during this era that Ekatontapyliani, the Church of a Hundred Doors, was constructed upon an ancient Protochristian catacomb site.

With its colourful fishing boats, upscale seafood restaurants, and enchanting streets, Naoussa has evolved from a humble fishing village into a fashionable destination that perfectly blends natural splendour and cosmopolitan allure.
