Well, I've recently discovered the joys of Google Earth. I've spent ages wondering around cyber space and looking at different countries. My first stop was Naxos, a small island in the Greek Cyclades set of islands.
My, it was truly lovely visiting there again after so many years! I was last there, in the skin, in 1987 as part of a backpacking trip for 6 weeks.This trip took in, Crete, Naxos, Sifnos, Sikinos, Folegandros, Milos and Santorini.
Once on Naxos I remained there for a week due to my love of this place. I camped on the beach there on Aghia Anna and drank in the small taverna. I also made a bamboo shelter as part of my temporary accommodation. The tranquility of this place was one to die for.
As you can see, I instantly fell in love with Naxos and vowed to visit there again. Naxos does have some great mythical history involving Greek Gods and Godesses; Ariadne, Dionysis for example. The buildings and culture of this island tugged at my heart when I left and for many years later, hence my continuing feel of urgency to revisit Naxos. I will get back there soon. Where there's a will there's a way is my motto!!

And the Greeks had a word for it....or some'at like that....don't mind me I'm pissed again n babblin' n I hope yer get back there soon.
I really want to get back there, so much so, that I've been pricing up flights, ferries and camping costs and I reckon I could get there for about £250 plus my camping fees of £132 for 14 days!! God I want to sample that awful Greek wine again - Retsina! Lethal fucking stuff that is.
And...don't worry about the babbling, you endured some of my worst rants ever!! :)
