While investigating possible ferries to Aegina, Bruce and Justine found they had to leave a day earlier than expected. So after a quick trip up to the Chora, a spot of fishing with nets in the harbour and lunch, we said good bye and they rushed for the ferry. Which left us to plan what to do next…Jamie’s recent 10th birthday meant she was eligible to do her Junior Open Water Diver’s course. After ringing round a couple of PADI centres, the choice was Paros or Naxos both of which were a good 8 plus sailing hours away, so the rest of Saturday was given over to cleaning, swabbing and provisioning and Sunday was another early start.
An impressive “Portara” on a promontory welcomes visitors to Naxos town. It’s the remnants of an unfinished temple that was plundered by the Venetians to build the magnificent fort and surrounding town.
We arrived early afternoon, moored (and discovered the limitations of our gangplank – short, no guide rail due to it being a piece of decking) and went exploring.
