Iris Hotel

Iris Hotel is one of the easiest ways to stay in the middle of Naoussa without paying boutique prices. According to the property page it is in the village centre and close to the water, with Naousa Harbour about five minutes' walk away and Piperi Beach about three minutes on foot. Agios Dimitrios Beach is nine minutes away and Agioi Anargyroi Beach about nineteen minutes, so there are several swimming options without needing a car. For a village known for evening strolls and harbour dining, the location is ideal. The hotel is a modest, traditional property with a terrace, a garden, a bar and a library. Breakfast is a free buffet, and free self parking and WiFi are included. Room types range from standard doubles with garden views to deluxe doubles and triples with sea views, and there is a two-bedroom family room, which sleeps four. All rooms have air conditioning, safes, refrigerators, electric kettles, showers and daily housekeeping.

Naoussa is at its best on foot, and Iris puts you in the right place to enjoy it. After breakfast you can walk to the harbour, look over the fortress and boats, and then take the short stroll to Piperi Beach. In the evening, the lanes with restaurants and bars are close by, so you can return to your room within minutes. Buses to Parikia and the east coast leave from the village edge, and sunset cruises depart from the harbour.

Noise is the usual trade-off of a central position. In July and August, evening life in Naoussa can be lively, so ask for a room facing the garden rather than the street if you want quiet. The room list also includes a budget triple with street view and no balcony, so check what you are booking. Babysitting is available for a surcharge, and the property page lists multilingual staff and tour and ticket assistance.

Who is it for? Couples, friends and small families who want to be in the heart of Naoussa at a more moderate price than the large resorts on the coast. It is a solid choice if you want to dine out every night and spend days at the nearby beaches.

It is less suitable for travellers who need a pool or a spa, since the page does not list them. Book early for peak dates, confirm room types and ask about sea-view availability. If you want a quieter stay with more facilities, consider the hillside and beachfront options elsewhere in this guide.
