We've arrived in the land of marble, souvalaki and olive oil. We have spent a couple of days looking around Athens, enjoying the sunshine and seeing some ancient Greek stuff - the best being the Parthenon and the Acropolis. Now we are on a Greek island.
Today we took a 6 hour ferry ride to one of the islands, Naxos. The houses in the town are white cubes with blue doors and shutters. The sun is shining and warm, but the wind is blowing and is quite cold. Tomorrow we hope it will be warm enough to find a sheltered beach somewhere and start to thaw out after a London winter.
Naxos is really quiet at this time of year, having just come out of winter and not really warmed up yet. We scored a really nice room at a cheap price but we are annoyed right now as we just found out the owner won't turn the heater on unless we hand over some more Euros.
Ok, off to find another char grilled Gyros for me and another Greek Salad for Aimee.
