is a bit easy at least.

It was a very hot day, as expected in mid August and so
we were looking forward to swim. We descended from the
bus at a place called Ricante, at Gardini Naxos. I knew
that Gardini Naxos was famous for its large beach. This
was part of the beach and it was really nice. Water
was blue-green, warm, and clear. and the sand was clean
and hot, so hot that you cant stand up on it for more
than 10 seconds! So be sure to bring your towel !

This is another large sandy beach some 1 km away from the
beach shown above. This beach in Gardini Naxos is very
long, maybe measuring up to 5km or more. The hills at the
background makes this place more spectacular. |

One of the best pizzas I have eaten in my life was in a
restaurant (Pozzo Greco) found in a quiet place along a
street situated in a small garden. I am hanging up a pizza
slice in attempt to get rid of its delicious elastic cheese.
A bottle of Mateus Rose wine (10.5 Eur) accompanied this
evening meal very well. |
