We just came back from a week in Naxos and I feel so relaxed! We have visited Naxos many times in summer and have good friends there, but this year we chose to go in springtime. Nature was so wonderful that you could sit and look at it for hours! Plus there were no crowds to spoil your calm.
It was not difficult to find a room there that time of the year, because most hotels had opened for Easter (last weekend was the Greek Easter). Prices were a bargain, almost half the price of high season.
Beaches of course were quiet chilly. We tried to swim twice but no success, the water was very cold. However, hiking along the villages and the green paths was a delight. Kostas, a friend of ours, went us hiking from Chora to his land property about an hour away. Smaro was there, his wife, and all together we gathered peaches from his trees. Fun and unique experience, I had never gathered any fruit in London! Next night, we went fishing the four of us but didn't catch any fish. Bad luck, I guess!
