Naxos

From the breakfast table this morning: a view of the island of Naxos, where we visited soon afterwards.

 

Naxos is is a lovely island.
It seems much less overdeveloped than Santorini and is thus more pleasant.

In a farmer’s field not that long ago, the owner discovered this statue. The area was once a marble quarry.
The statue is unfinished (probably because the leg was broken) and it was evidently abandoned in the 6th century.

We visited an olive oil producer, where we tasted olives, oil, and other products.

Most of the area where we visited was agricultural.

You had a beautiful view during your breakfast.
Hubby and I enjoy the less touristy places.
Are you bringing home some olive oil.
Take care, have a great day!
