Naxos since 3000 BC

The largest of the Cycladic islands, it is full of history, goat traffic jams, a Venetian castle and ancient marble statues just lying alongside of the road.  They say you use what you have, and Naxos had marble allowing us to explore temples built in 500 BC. 

It is an island with the most diverse countryside...orchards, rich gardens, vineyards and little villages.  Wild crags, Venetian watchtowers and ancient sites are around each corner.  We rented a car to explore and were impressed by its history and beauty.

Steve looks very relaxed in the first picture. I guess he needed a vacation from his vacation! :)
Is the island bike-able too?
