Last Sop in Greece - Naxos

Again we are staying in an authentic greek 'hotel' run by the most charming family. Demetri and his parents immediately made us feel at home with a welcome drink and quick recap of the town. Naxos is a much less developed island with a laid back vibe and fewer tourists.




Like most greek islands, there is history here dating back 1,000s of years. From the porch we can see a stunning arch remaining from a temple belonging to the Greek God Apollo. In the evening the north star and moon align themselves above the arch creating a unique trilogy that fascinates the eye.




Several Greek people we met in Santorini told us to enjoy the beautiful beaches and great food here in Naxos. Sure sure we thought...but how can anything be more magnificent then OIA and the caldera? After a bus ride through town and few dirt roads our eyes met Plaka Beach. A little taste of heaven in the sun! Crystal clear water and white soft sand; couldn't be a better way to enjoy our last couple days in Greece and in honor of Europe, we will be spending our final day on the beach...naked!
