Paros or naxos11/14/2022 ![]() spent the hour waiting for the rental car agency with him and his mother. then used his phone called the rental agency and talked to them. guy came down hill to try and fix our car. We all would love to go back!īeth aren't the greek people amazing, our car broke down on Naxos( in the mountains in middle of nowhere) and we were invited in to a isolated restaurant that wasn't even open for the season yet ( the fellow had been outside working on renovations). Naxos has beautiful beaches and mountains. The rest of our party (there were 7 of us between 21-59) in the mean time explored the medieval core of Naxos town which they never saw. They have pictures that look like they were from National Geographic. They somehow got themselves invited to someone’s home and had moon shine with them. Our sons rented a vehicle and drove to the east (I think) of the island and saw a giant kouro (statue) laying on the ground. We hiked to peak of Mt ZEus and visited small towns and historical sites. Driving really isn’t that hard (easier than santorini) and would give you maximum flexibility. We never had dinner (only lunch) in the small towns around. We stayed in St George which is the beach town that overflows from Naxos town. If you want warmer water, the fall would be a safer bet. Frankly, at home I would not have gone in at the temperature the sea was but I was in Greece!! I did a lot of things I would not do at home. We were fine with the temperature, although it clearly was cooler than what we have in the Atlantic at home. We are from south Florida so basically wimps when it comes to cold water. We were there four nights and would have been delighted to spend a few more there. We debated between Naxos and Paros and went to Naxos. Paros or naxos free#Thanks everyone and if you have recommendations please feel free to comment. Again we grew up with North Atlantic ocean temperatures so please consider that.Ĥ) We are going to Santorini (my wife insists, I could care less) and so would like a place that's less touristy but not too out of the way.ĥ) We have traveled quite a bit and are firm believers in the DIY vacations so we don't require much hand holding on our trips. Is public transportation enough to allow a evening meal in a town away from the town in which your accommodation is located does it run late? I don't really want to rent a car but would be willing to rent an ATV if I had to (I grew up on a tiny island on the east coast of Canada and am well versed in driving ATV's).ģ) Will the water be warm enough to swim in? We are considering late May or early to mid Sept for our visit. Each of the islands has other locations/towns to visit. I am a history nut and she loves the beach (we both love the ocean - Marine Biologists).ġ) Aside from beaches will there be enough to occupy us for 4 days/5 nights we have allocated for one of these islands? Specifically aside from hiking, swimming, shopping and eating what else is there to do?Ģ) Travel to other parts of the island. Some background on us: It will be my wife and myself and we are in the 35-40 age bracket, are not blitz tourists (1-2 sights a day but if we spend the majority of it sitting in a cafe on a square that's fine as well). We have been trying to decide between Paros and Naxos. I have been trying to determine where and when to go on our Greek Holiday. ![]()
