23 May.
Parikia - Naxos
After another wonderful breakfast sitting under the stunning bougainvillea we enjoyed the sparkling sunny morning wandering the alleyways before heading back to our room to pack for the midday ferry to Naxos.
Paros has been a delight - there’s plenty to see and do as well as soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere at gorgeous restaurants.
As we headed onto the ferry like herded cattle we looked up to the decks above to see if our friends George and Sonia were looking out for us. We are spending a week in a house on Naxos and a few days on Santorini together. We gazed up for a little while then we spied George....we frantically waved to get his attention and he snapped us below with the hundreds of passengers boarding.
As we cruised into Naxos, the largest island of the Cyclades, we could see the iconic Portora (Temple of Apollo) on the left of the pretty town.

Walking the esplanade it’s amazing what you spy....squid for dinner?
The Portara...a lovely view of Naxos Chora (town).
The walkway to the temple on the hill and the town was bathed in sunlight. A wonderful introduction to the this fascinating island.
After finding our accommodation it was off to explore the esplanade awash with tourists, restaurants and shops to enjoy a long lunch and a wonderful catch up with our friends.
As our lunch filled us we bought some provisions for dinner at the local shop and had a lovely end to the day enjoying cheeses, wine, fresh tasty tomatoes and salami. A perfect end to a great day.
