Naxos, Greece

Hello! After a two day stint in Ios, Greece per recommendation of Barb Kenslea, we have been staying in Naxos, the biggest Cyclades Island. Ios was lovely, and we stayed at the best place ever! It was a campsite in Mylopotas Beach at the end of the only road in Ios, and we had a beach hut right on the edge of the water for only six euro per night! There were not many people on the island at all, but there were two Australian tour groups who we spent the evenings with, and we spent the days lounging around on the beach! The water was incredible - it was crystal clear, and even though it was very deep you could almost count the grains of sand on the bottom! We took the ferry to Naxos yesterday, and after learning that it was better to book accomodation before arriving somewhere ( we took a bus ride all the way out to Naxos Camping, which we later discovered was shut), we found a lovely room by the sea and near the centre of town. Today we rented an ATV to drive around the island because there is not much of a bus system. It was awesome! The views were incredible, and after a few wobbly starts on the vehicle, we managed to go over dirt paths and around hairpin corners up into Mt. Zeus. We have returned to the Port area now to see the sun set over the Panagios gate. Tomorrow we will go to Mykonos!
