I can see the table where we just had dinner just down over there … actually… it’s one of the ones on the right – we ate at Sigi Ikthios – I’ll post a 360˚ pic from there soon (to make Gerry happy :))

The Venetian Fort of Naoussa is located in the old port. Initially constructed in the 15th century by the Venetians, the fortress was used as a watchtower for pirate and enemy attacks and as a front line in times of war. Its location was very convenient for surveilling the Aegean Sea

Nowadays, just a part of this fort has been preserved; namely, a half-submerged watchtower that is connected to the mainland with a short causeway

Naoussa on the Greek island of Paros from the air – after dinner but before sunset

Taking off from out at the old historic Venetian Castle (that round ruins out in the water) is convenient and it’s also where I planned to take some sunset/twilight long exposures with my “real” camera

This fishing town is really quite pretty, classic greek homes (white cubes) and a myriad pretty boats along the waterfront

We’d travelled by ferry from Milos to the greek island of Paros. We were again staying far away from the main port town (Parikia)

Here on Paros we’d be staying at the lovely (but very touristy) fishing village of Naoussa. Again we’d hired a car for our stay – and again we got a Fiat Panda. This one was a brand new 2024 Fiat Panda Hybrid, which was actually an excellent vehicle and was great to drive (even had Carplay)

This 360˚ full spherical panorama with the Insta360 X4 is taken in the main boat harbour of Naoussa. Surrounded by all the restaurants and bars, this is THE happening place later in the evening and all night :). Our accomodation was quite close to here, about 1 or 2 minutes walk

Cats

One thing the Greek islands have an abundance of is cats. I could publish a whole book of cat images 🙂

Early morning (just after 6AM) and we’re about to head off to the port to catch our ferry to the island of Paros
