Friday was our last day on the island of Naxos. We decided to rent a car and drive around to see some villages we had not visited on our previous tour.
We stopped in Moni for some french fries and coke (you can't beat the potatoes of Naxos) and then walked the city where we came upon a lady with a weaving loom. I bought a purse just to encourage her.
We then headed to see the "Kouros." These are statues carved out of rock in the shape of a person probably before the time of Christ. They are guessing they were supposed to be a statue of the ideal man. I can't believe they had planned to roll them on logs to the harbor. But they broke, one at the neck and one at the feet so they are just laying there.
We stopped at The Rotunda for lunch. A beautiful spot at the top of the mountain overlooking the valley. I gave me some ideas for my courtyard.
Adventurers that we are, we took a back road down to Agiassos Beach. Glad we didn't run out of gas as it would have been a long walk back.
That was a full day that ended at the Waffle House for waffle with ice cream. Yum! My new favorite - Raspberry Chocolate Chunk. The flavor just burst in your mouth.
On our way home we drove by a marble factory and was able to pick up a small piece of Naxos white marble.
We logged in another 15000 steps walked on my iwatch.
Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

So beautiful - sensory overload! I'm sensing an underlying ice cream theme here... that should be part of the advertisement for the next trip! You both look so relaxed - that's great to see. Stay safe.
