Naxos

Since a visit to Greece didn't seem complete without seeing at least one of the islands, we decided to take a 5 1/2 hour ferry trip to Naxos. Naxos is a major tourist destination during the high season, but since we visited just after that, we got the best of both worlds: the weather was still good (mid-70s and sunny for 2 of our 3 days there) and the prices were fairly low. St. George beach was exactly 56 seconds (walking at a leisurely pace) from our the front door of our hotel and we took full advantage of it! The water was a little chilly, but that didn't stop Jesse from getting some swimming in.
