When we pulled into Naxos the first thing we saw was the Portara, the Great Door. It’s a massive marble doorway up on a hill.  It’s beautiful and such a amazing reminder of how old so many things in Greece are that have been preserved. We decided to have dinner early and then walk upContinue reading “The Door to Naxos”

One of the many things I love about Greece is that each island has so much to see and explore.  While there are recurring themes, beautiful beaches, hilltop towns, lots of whites and blues, everything is still so unique and contains so much of it’s own character.  Our third day in Naxos, we decided toContinue reading “Our Greek Honeymoon”

Happy Thursday!

Just in case you were wondering we were actually there!

Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades, so there is so much to see.  There are so many beautiful little towns in the interior.  It’s hard to tear yourself away from the beach but since we had a whole month in Greece we felt less guilty taking the time to see some towns.

My nervous American parents think I’ll get hurt, so I’m forced to find other places to relax. I sometimes help myContinue reading “Whiling away time – A short story by Adam”

40 minutes away by ferry from Serifos is Sifnos, another beautiful Greek island.  We decided to head over there for a day trip.  After all, the beaches can wait a day. The ferry was easy and super quick.  They even had delicious spinach pies on board and in case you’re wondering, no, you can neverContinue reading “Sifnos to Stratou”

In Sifnos, the town up on the top of the hill is called Castro.  We’ve gone a couple times to eat but mostly just headed right to Stratos and settled in for the night. Who can blame us with a view like this. But we headed up there early one night and no restaurants wereContinue reading “Top of the Castle”
