Monastery of Agios Andreas

The Monastery of Agios Andreas is considered one of the greatest religious attractions of Paros because of its location and architecture.

It was built in 1648 and the church was completed in 1711. To reach to monastery, visitors must travel southwest of Naoussa and turn left on a detour off the Naoussa-Parikia road.

It is just 3 kilometers from the port of Naoussa. The interior of the monastery is reminiscent of a fort, where one wall is a cruciform church with a dome. Inside the church, the carved wooden icon screen and bishop's throne stand out.

The icons, painted by iconographers of the period, are also interesting. The monastery is privately owned.
