2 days before our departure my wife went through her knee. Well, she has a good one and a bad one. Unfortunately she went through her good one stepping of a bike. The 1st thing we were thinking was to cancel the whole trip. But after a visit to the doctor she was given a green light. You better sit on a chair in the sun on a Greek island than you sit on a chair at home he said. And he injected some gel in her knee cap because "arthritis" was his diagnosis. But there was other good news too: our vouchers for a free upgrade to business class were accepted by Aegean.
So we made it to Naxos after a day's travel. As usual, Michaella from Antonia Studios, was awaiting us at the small airport in Naxos. it has been our place to stay for the last 4-5 years now. But unfortunately our usual studio is not available (for the moment?) due to renovation.
The Olympic flight from Athens to Naxos was only 1/3 occupied. Never experienced so few passengers on that flight. And a funny question from the stewardess: "Anyone wants to sit at the back to exit first?" When I declined saying I know what happens if you are first at the luggage belt in Naxos, she laughed. For those who don't know: it's a very short one and if your luggage isn't first to arrive you're stuck with passing on everybody else's luggage.
Even Greek Orthodox Easter has passed, there are still a lot of places closed that are usually open. But that is for the next post. To be continued.
