The history of the Naoussa Center of Industrial Heritage – ERIA and the permanent exhibition “Threads of History. The textile industry in Naoussa” is housed in the VETLANS industrial complex, at the upper east end of the Arapitsa river's northern bank.

To prove that the aging of wine in a river can ensure the special taste that wine lovers around the world are looking for, the winemakers of Naoussa are trying, sinking for the first time in Greece, up to 1000 bottles of xinomavro wine at the bottom of the Arapitsa river.
