Hello Naxos!

Next morning by boat left to Naxos at 8.55 and arrived at 9.55. With this slow boat the ticket cost 6.20 but with a student discount it was only 3.10€. It was so windy it felt almost cold! It was “only” 27 degrees compared to the previous weeks over 40..

Athina came to meet me close to the harbor and we walked to our hotel Lagoudera which we paid 30€ a night, so 15€ each. We walked to Ag. Georgios beach and it was SO windy in there! The waves were huge and it was actually a bit scary to be in the water. Then it was food time on the beach taverna and to the hotel to hang around and work a bit. At night, we went to the center to wander around and for glasses of sangria.

On a Wednesday morning we took the only bus on the island to go to the famous Agios Prokopios beach which Athina spotted somewhere was said to be one of the best (top 10) beaches in Europe. We hang around on the beach almost all day and played tavli. Back at the hotel we started talking with two greek guys one of which was a life guard on the beach, Kostadis, and the other one Marios was his “assistant”.. In other words a friend coming to visit him! :D We worked for a bit and then took showers and left out for drinks and to wander in the center. My friend from Finland Isabella and her boyfriend were arriving the same night so we went to the port to surprise them and help them to get to taxi and to their hotel! Then it was time for the greek survivor final and then we met the guys from our hotel. We left to Ocean Club with them for drinks and later we bought beers from the kiosk and went to our hotel lobby to laugh! I loved it who you can have fun with only drinking few beers! All during the night the guys drank like two cocktails and one beer at the hotel and we laughed so so much! We went to bed around 4 am :D

On a Thursday morning, we left for the beach to say hi to the boys working! Then we left to meet Isabella and Samu at Ag. Prokopios beach, we went to eat with them first! Then hang out at the beach like until eight o’clock! I took a quick nap while Athina was working and then went to catch up with the boys at Captains Café. Then we went to a bar Swing and I went to pick up Isabella and Samu for couple of drinks in there also. After Swing we went to this Scandinavian bar Prime for one drink and then to this local place where they tried to teach me how to dance greek style! Loved when I knew songs and I even asked for one song!! (Egw Athina kai esu) Loved it! Then headed back to our hotel and went to bed around 5.30 am..

The next morning we woke up surprisingly early and left at the same time with the boys to the beach.. Hang out there a while with them until it was time to kiss Marios goodbye since he was leaving back to Thessaloniki in the afternoon. L So nice and warm guys! Me and Athina headed to Ag. Plaka beach which was a 4 km long sandy beach with free sunbeds! The bus ticket to there cost us 2€ and we took a bus back around 16.30..

Then quick showers and then we met up with Isabella and Samu for a tour in the castle and at the Portara. Athina was our tour guide and we enjoyed a nice sunset by the Portara! Then we went to eat at this local taverna and we all had to order something in Greek. We ate so much and only paid 45€ from everything! I bought a boat ticket to Koufonissia for the next day at 11.20 am paying 11.50€ with a student discount. Then we all went to 520 roof top bar and after that to Ocean Club where Kostadis and his friend came to hang our for a while before leaving for the Swing. Me and Athina joined them later in there and again had such a great night! Went to sleep around 4 am.
