Up and ready for the day, set up by breakfast costing €6 each with Faye (which was worth the cost! Toast, jam, coffee,orange juice. Water, eggs, cake, yoghurt and melon!!!) we set off for Ancient Thira. I had taken note off a forum post to say go via Kamari side as you could drive to the site. Well, when looking at the map, what a road! As we approached you could see the cliff road very tight and extremely steep full of hair pin bends. The road is patched ...

Today is even windier! Checked, Blue Star running, just missed the 2 day strike too. As we were packing a knock on the door and we were welcomed with 2 large pieces of warm freshly cooked cheese and spinach pie. It was gorgeous especially as we had run out of stuff for breakfast! Great hosts. Drove into port, parked the car and strolled around town, Russ went for a hair and beard trim. At port now, gales and large queue, ferry so far 15 late. Glad we have travel ...

Plan was to stay at our beach for am however the wind was very strong so we headed into St George beach where it is very shallow, white sand beach. We used our parasol as a bit of a wind break. The sand was flying everywhere! We enjoyed a breakfast in a local square first catching up with our blogs. By 5pm I had had enough! We did laugh but on days like this pebble beaches are the way to go! Walked into town and ate on the front at the Good Heart. Chicken and mus...

Lay in which is rare for us, we'll until 0830. Packed backs, picnic made by mR Lowe, lovely Greek salad for me again and fresh bread. We set off Psili Amos beach but when arrived it was a large pebble with sand bay and did not like so we back tracked and found a tiny cove near cape Kournoupia. We snorkelled and ate fresh bread and cheese and onion crisp second breakfast! Only one other couple at the bay. behind us was an unfinished half built Belgium larg...

Today is the day for Zas. We arrive at Agia Marina and park at the church. This cuts out the steep walk from Filoti. By car it is a steep windy road so I am glad we have a car and and cut this out! At 930 am there were 2 other cars there already but plenty of parking on the road too. The summit is the highest in Naxos at 1001m high. The instructions are not really needed as the path is well marked. It was a moderate walk, steep parts but mostly a gradual,climb un...
