Ferry to Naxos















Last night before I went to bed, the guy at the reception desk asked if I needed a wake-up call. I said, sure, please call me at 6:00. This morning I woke up startled by the loud banging on my door, BAM, BAM, BAM. Three times. All I could think was oh, no, some creeper is on the other side of the door. So I called out, "yes?" The response: "Six o'clock!" Apparently wake-up calls at this hotel are very personal. haha

I left Piraeus Port at 7:25 on the Blue Star Ferry and headed for Naxos. The ferry makes three stops, Paros, Naxos and Santorini. On the ride, I met a couple from the States whos are currently stationed in the Middle East for his job. I also met a girl from Austria headed to Santorini for a quiet vacation. They kept me company along the ride and also took my picture for me a couple of times. I also read a book on the ride over. Kandis, I don't think I packed enough??!














When I got to Naxos, I checked into my quaint hotel and headed out to explore the area.












My hotel is right along a beach, so that was my first stop, I walked the length of the beach. This is what I discovered:
1) Going topless is common
2) There is no skinny-minnie body image over here. I saw WAAY too much skin of some people
3) If you stop to sit in one of the lawn chairs and you fall asleep for an hour and a half, you get charged 4 euros...
