Parian Boutique Hotel
A rooftop pool overlooking the sea, one minute from the sand
About this hotel
The rooftop is the reason to book Parian: a swimming pool and bar set above the rest of Naousa, with sea views that most ground-floor properties nearby can't match. Rooms below carry their own sea views and private bathrooms, air conditioned throughout, with a minibar and satellite channels covering the basics. Breakfast runs continental or à la carte, served with local specialities and fresh pastries, and the beauty services desk, hair styling included, gives the boutique end of the experience some substance beyond the rooftop. Agioi Anargyroi Beach is a one-minute walk, closer than almost any other stay in Naousa, while the Venetian Harbour and Castle sit nine minutes beyond.

Our take
Anyone who wants sunset drinks with a sea view without leaving the property will find the rooftop pool worth the booking on its own. The one-minute walk to the beach is about as close as Naousa gets. Travellers wanting a large hotel with extensive grounds should look elsewhere, since Parian trades scale for a strong rooftop and prime beach proximity.
- ✓Book a sunset slot at the rooftop bar in advance during peak season, tables fill fast.
- ✓Walk the one minute to Agioi Anargyroi Beach for a swim before breakfast, before the crowds arrive.
- ✓Use the beauty services desk for a treatment on a rest day rather than seeking one out in town.

Why guests love itThe rooftop pool became the evening ritual, drinks up there watching the sea turn colour before dinner, hard to beat for a hotel this size. Being one minute from Agioi Anargyroi Beach meant no real planning was needed for a swim, we just walked down whenever the mood struck. The beauty services desk handled a treatment on our one lazy day, and the nine-minute walk to the harbour covered dinner most nights without needing a car for the whole stay.
