Naxos

Our second Greek island was the island of Naxos. It is a large island with many small villages and a marble quarry. The port town of Naxos has a sizeable poplulation and is a real town, not just a tourist destination. We rented a car for two days to drive around the island, taking in the incredible scenery.

Magnificent mountain views...
...and the sea, too.
