Chilling in the cozy confines of the Frankfurt airport.
Our first glimpse of Athens as we flew in late at night.
First sunrise in Greece just outside Athens and a few hundred feet from where a massive fire had swept through the neighborhood and burned everything in sight…
Playing gubs aboard the gigantic Grecian ferry; they dwarf the WA state ferries we're used to.
A pitstop on the way to Naxos. Since there's a string of islands we had a few stops.
Look at the color of the water!
The wake of the ferry is so wide.
Next stop. Most of the passengers walked on rather than driving on.
Arrival on Naxos and beginning the wild goose chase to find our lodging amongst the twisty passages in the old town center.
Our introduction to the cool narrow alleyways that make up much of old towns and villages.
Finally! Despina's Rooms, our home away from home for a our first few days.
Zoe recovering from the very early wake-up call.
Looking out from our rooms towards the ferry terminal and the Apollo Temple on the hill.
So pretty!
While most of Naxos was immaculately maintained here's what happens when things are left to the elements.
So many twisty passages. We got ourselves so twisted around many times.
