Naxos Holidays

... are still many columns as well as some interesting mosaics. Even with what remains, there is enough to get a good idea of what the island would have been like in its heyday. The best know sculptures on the island are a row of lions. <br><br>We anchored within the Bay of Delos and returned in the afternoon for lunch aboard. After we finished exploring the island, we boarded the yacht and returned to Mykonos for the evening. We went to shore and found a ...

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again. <br>

... to not get so caught up with what you've achieved in life, as to get caught up in how you are living and celebrating life. Because I promise you, one day all of our oh-so-important-stuff is going to be washed over just like the Romans. And we'll be a quaint little blip on the map of history.<br><br>Um. Sorry. I went a little deep there. Perhaps those thoughts are better saved for my journal than my hippity hoppity fun blog!<br><br>Okay, so, Mykonos today and then ...

this trip was very special to me,because it was the first one after I finally finished with school and had the freedom to do everything I want,without anybody else controlling me!the only thing I wanted to do is find a nice place with great people to relax and so I did.i met many interesting people and it was a journey to remember!

Took the hydroplane from Santorini to Mykonos. Stayed right on the beach and the cruise ships docked right down the beach. Island topography not as dramatic as Santorini but very nice. Surprised how dry and little vegetation on both islands. Got my whole body in the Mediterranean not just my feet (no pictures of that !!)

... bathroom and a MAID! As if that all wasn't enough, Pension Irene is run by a cute Greek woman, Irene, who gave us free ice cream. Her favorite was Jon, and she even gave him juice in an effort to win his affections. Lindsey is beyond jealous.<br><br>The first day we relaxed around the bug-free pool and made ourselves a delicious greek orzo salad. Our lovely dinner was interuppted by an angry british man because we were too loud for him to be able to concentrate on his ...

... near Hora. The next day dawned hazy. We walked into town and headed south toward a popular summer beach. The beach was deserted except for one friendly cat who followed in our footsteps for a while. After passing through blocks of shuttered summer hotels and businesses, we turned inland and found a supermarket where we purchased cat food and other essentials. We turned back toward town and it began to rain. By the time we returned ...

... the bartender played the happy birthday song for me and made me a big fancy drink with a sparkler in it... it was nice. We got home a little late and went straight to bed!! Today, for my birthday, we got up and had some yummy breakfast then went in search of a place to rent scooters from. We went to a few places and all of them were convinced that we would crash and die on a scooter so they convinced us to get 4 wheeler atv's instead! We drove ...

... missing being rained on by a storm that bucketed water for about 15 minutes. We managed to get down the beach in the afternoon for a quick swim during a brief period of sunshine, which was nice. The beaches on Naxos, especially the one near us (Agios Anna), are gorgeous: golden sand with bright turquoise water...aaah. We started the next day with a long, long walk along the beach. The weather was not too bad, spells of sun, but quite windy and ...

Today I arrived in Naxos!! Best decision I've made in a long time - the island, the largest of the Cyclades, is beautiful. Think whitewash buildings with painted blue door and window frames, long, white, sandy beaches, clear blue sea, and fresh, unpolluted breathable air! The campsite itself that I'm going to be working on (Naxos Camping) is an excellent campsite. The owners philosophy is that everyone staying with them should have ...
