Last Night in Naxos

Our last night in Naxos was bittersweet but we made the most of it. It began with a stroll into the square where I got to experience tiny fish nipping at the dead skin on my feet (very attractive thought, I know - see the pictures below). I'm not really sure why I thought this would be a good idea considering I have very ticklish feet. Let's just say it was a very long 15 minutes, but fun! Glad I can say that I tried it and made it through. Definitely an experience!

After that we walked around the square a bit and went into some of the shops where I purchased my only fashion-related item of the whole trip (shocking, right?), a really cute striped skirt that you will see in a Santorini post coming up!

We then waked down to the waterfront where we had the best of our Naxos dinners. I had a salad that changed my world, which was basically just red and white cabbage shaved with greek dressing (olive oil and yummy vinegar). It's all I've been eating for lunch since I got back. Goodbye lettuce!

After that we went through the old market which is just a jumble of narrow, winding alleyways lined with shops. It's what I imagine shopping is like in a mall made of caves.

Tomorrow's post holds pictures from the most magical place we visited on our trip, Santorini. Can't wait to show it to you!

Next Stop, Naxos!

After Athens, we made our next stop on the large island of Naxos. The part we stayed in was close to the port and everything was pretty much no farther than a 15 minute walk.

In this part of the island we found that scooters, ATVs and mini cars would pretty much run you over on the super-narrow "streets" if you didn't pay attention and stay as close to the sides as humanly possible.

That said, we spent a lot of our time in Naxos at our Hotel, the Porto Naxos, or not too far from it. The pool was awesome and very rarley had more than two other people at it. It was kind of like our own private pool most of the time. Anyone making their way to Naxos, we would highly recommend this hotel. They were so friendly and accommodating and there was a grocery store just steps from the front of the building, not to mention great restaurants very close by. 

We also spent the largest amount of our time on the island of Naxos, so there will be lots more pictures to come this week. Stay tuned!

This was taken right after we got off the ferry boat (the size of a cruise ship!) that took us from Athens to Naxos.

Our pool! As you can see not much company and that's the way we liked it!

A view of the back of the hotel. That kiddie pool was pretty much my personal pool. The big one was crazy deep in most spots which made holding a book to read in the pool pretty hard.
