Naousa, Greece

lodging

Alexandros Apartments

Perched atop a hill overlooking the sparkling Aegean Sea and the charming town of Naoussa. Our host, Litsa was so warm and welcoming, and in my mind what every Greek mother should be. (She also makes a mean Frappe!) It was a quick 5-10 minute walk into town each night, and a perfect spot to watch the sunrise.

Kolympḗthres

It's accessible from Naoussa by car or scooter, but we opted to take a short ferry ride across the little bay. Kolymbithres is filled with unique rock formations, which we climbed over until we found a perfect spot for swimming and playing paddle board. Eventually we migrated to a little beachy area, which had chairs and occasionally a waitress who would bring beers to us from the nearby restaurant. (By the way... if you walk up the hill to Taverna Kolymbithres, it's a beautiful little spot to grab a bite if you are visiting the beach).

Punda Beach Club

Punda was bigger than Santa Maria Beach Club, and had two pools, but I think we actually had more fun at Santa Maria).

Michael Zeppos - Cruise Boat

It is a beautifully restored boat, and our Captain Dimitris was friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to a cool little "pirate cave,"where we went snorkeling, a secluded beach on Antiparos where we practiced hand stands and acro-yoga, and found the perfect spot for our adventure-seeking cliff jumpers.

Antiparos

Antiparos was so charming and lively, it almost made me wish we had stayed there for a couple nights. After winding our way through the cobblestone streets lined with boutiques, we made our way to a plaza of sorts, surrounded by a dozen or so bars which all faced the open air square. For after hours, we headed to The Mill, a club inside of... you guessed it, an old mill.
