Naxos Island – Beach explorations

October 18

  • Repeat: Naxos Island is windy, has tight roads, arid, mountainous, rocky, and turquoise water on sunny days.
  • Beaches are empty in October and VERY windy!
  • Michelle can find things to photograph anywhere, even PLAKA Beach.
  • Pix 5 shows the reality of an empty beach with deserted chairs.
  • Pix 6 shows how a photo can be taken at the same place with a different eye end intention.
  • Pix 7, 8, and 9 are all taken within 15 seconds..showing different positions against the wind and being reminded that God knows every piece and place of hair on my head…Luke 12:7…Naxos, Greece.
  • Pix 10 has the kids framed through the window with several islands in the far background.
  • Even if Google maps lists restaurants as open, chances are they are closed if near the beach in October.
  • The island landscape is dotted with little white washed church buildings. Some areas have old windmills.
  • We found a spot to eat. We think a Greek Grandma was preparing for each customer for the day.
  • Hawaii and Alyko Beaches are the best beaches to visit when it’s windy.
  • Hawaii Beach shown below had an interesting path down to the cove.
  • Waffle House is an ice cream store…with delicious strawberry cheesecake gelato.
  • We had a nice evening walk to the port.
  • Don’t forget to floss (dance) before bed! Picture not shown to protect the flossing individuals.
