We were supposed to go by ferry to Naxos today but all ferries were cancelled due to the wind. We took the bus from our north location, Aegiali, to the south port, Katapola. We had to rent a room for one night (even though we had already paid for a room in Naxos) and booked a ferry for tomorrow afternoon to take us to Naxos. There was just one room left at the port side hotel, which was the closest to where we depart tomorrow, fingers crossed.
We found a taverna at the end of the port. It was empty but we took a chance and lucked out. I had the best calamari so far on this trip and equal to the best I’ve had in Greece. Jill had meatballs with a tomato sauce. She loved them.
We took a long walk around to the other side of the port. We were happy that we chose Aegiali for our four day stay, as its crescent beach was so much better.
After Jill beat me to regain her title at scrabble, we had our usual evening snack. Jill checked the ferry schedule and although we purchased new tickets for €115.50 on a different ferry leaving tomorrow, our free ferry (because of passes) was back in the schedule. We went to the Blue Star counter to try to get a refund. After a lot of Greek intervention by a helpful man in line, we got half back. Better than nothing. Hopefully all goes well tomorrow and we’ll be in Naxos tomorrow night.
Say hello to Naxos for Pam and I!
