Reds and greens of pottery, red and green of capern does, orange and white of unknown spirits, blue and white and green and yellow of some oil bottles, a yellow bird and a red tie. Quite a colorful and tasteful shop of Naxos

Underscapes

Rocky seabeds, habitats to fish schools are easy to find offshore Naxos. Such ecosystems allow to spot much marine life far from the coast. It is worth reaching them with fins and calmly explore each corner. The way back will often take more time for the water currents pushing off the cost

A Trachinotus ovatus fish pointing at two unaware tourists. This fish is very fast, try chasing it, you will immediately lose.

Pink and blue crystal waters are not rare and very close to the shore

A school of mullet fishes speeding on the sandy bottom and stopping by for feeding

Underwater savanna: Poseidonia forests are present off several beaches in Naxos, often much thicker than this young one

Blue & white

Blue and white are the colors of the Greek flag. Blue and white like sky and clouds, sea and sea foam. But also like blue doors and Greek white houses. This picture was shot in the old town of Naxos

While mooring, ferries revert engines to open the cargo bay towards the shore. Our shades are projected on the sea foam.

Daily signs of a very good restaurant where to enjoy nightlife in Naxos Chora.

The gigantic Greek flag on the acropolis of Athens. Some say the stripes represent the 9 Muses, some other say it means for “Freedom or death”, celebrating the defeat of the Ottoman Empire.
