last time on delightful travellers we talked about what it's like to live in Greece we then
sat down and outlined the cost of living here in naxos in this video we're answering the question
we've been getting asked the most do we still love living here in Greece I'm Anna and this is
Trevor in this series we're finally experiencing one of our ultimate dreams living in Greece make

to our channel members and patrons for making these videos possible this is our life in Greece
foreign today we're going to be talking about whether or not we still love living right here
in naxos Greece got the helmet we got a bike back there it's going to be a lot of fun today
check this out got a cool visor as well before we get going do us a favor let us know where you
guys are from we're just curious also hit the like button that helps us out we've been here
for a few weeks now and you guys keep asking us questions like are we still enjoying it here are
we getting bored do we still love it here so we figured we'd make a whole video basically
about that but we'd also in this video rent a quad bike what do you guys think about my
ride I like it a lot yeah it's gonna be fun some people that have been following us for
quite a while will know that in the Dominican Republic where we spent a lot of time in Los
taranas but we actually had one of these for a few weeks it was basically our transportation
to get around the town so it's really fun to have one again all right we're ready to go I
think the plan today is to kind of out of four of the main Town yeah you might remember a few
videos ago we actually rented a guitar with some friends and we went to a few beaches the weather
today is absolute perfection so we figured maybe we do have some peaches maybe one beautiful day
thank you so we just came back over to a town or a little village I should say that we were
in before it's called the agios it is a Beach town and this cauterized last time this bike is
really loud isn't it it is yeah I know I have to like take my thumb off the gas but this is
a really cool little town we came over because we wanted to have a little bit of a beach day again
you know we're not ready to leave quite yet but we are still loving the gorgeous weather here so
actually one of the reasons we came over here was to get some lunch we're not gonna have a
whole lot of options I think I only saw maybe two places that are open at the moment we were here a
week or two ago with dabble and travel you might remember that video from a few videos ago and I
think there were a few more things open but you could see them starting to close and now there's
there are limited options we are at the end of October as we filmed luckily there is a place to
eat and well the beach is still there yeah we've just stopped into a place called Kalua we're
absolutely starving today you guys can't wait to eat I'm just happy this is open now to answer the
question do we still love living here in naxos Greece I think it's pretty obvious of course we
do we're going to be talking about that over the course of the video we're going to start with food
because it's one of our favorite parts do I look funny in the lighting is because there's these
don't know what to call them it was fun things above us it's creating probably a weird light
around me but maybe it looks cool I'm not sure but let's talk about the food here on naxos in
Greece in general the food is amazing something that's great about Greek food in general is that
there's a wide variety of stuff so you don't really get bored of it because you can eat Greek
food every night and try something different and it would take quite a while before you get back
to your dish number one again but at the same time they also have different types of foods
as well so today we did a little bit of a mixture might we say so we've got some Greek salad oh the
best salad in the world Greek salad and then we got well some tacos you also got a beer
for yourself I did I'm not the designated driver for me I'm having a mammoth these
little salads are reason enough to love this place honestly trying to eat Greek salads like
every other day they're so so good in the feta it's all about the feta the fresh ingredients
it's not too often I get excited over a salad or we don't often show salads because they're
usually not like our favorite thing to eat and super exciting these on the other hand
not getting sick of them at all I'm gonna put that lime on there this does look very
very simple I think there's maybe some sour cream or some yogurt got some chicken onions
and tomatoes that's right I have for the last time I had a taco I don't know either
but this is the thing we love like here we are mixing a Greek salad with a taco we have options
that's really really good the chicken itself is a little bit peppery I love the sour cream
or it could be Greek yogurt which often can be confused because the Google around here is so good
tomatoes are good it's I think this is a flour tortilla and I'm totally fine with that this
is definitely is not anything like a Mexican authentic taco but it's yummy only thing I would
add to it is maybe some hot sauce I can't imagine how busy that place would be in High season it's
one of the perks being here and kind of off season I mean we we have this place to ourselves with
beautiful beautiful weather and we're going down to the beach right now in the loungers they have
a price they're usually like 10 euro I think for an umbrella two chairs but in this season
below season they're free so naxos is really known for its beaches and in our opinion this
is probably our favorite Beach we've come across on the island it's really sandy really calm often
not too windy and again just back to how many people here no no one's here you guys look at
this I'm sure some of you that have been here before watching this going like oh my so let's
talk about the wind again for a second so we are going to be here over the course of a month and
some and so far we're well into this day now half of the days have been windy and half have not so
we've been born coming in it's gonna be really really windy we didn't find that was the case and
on this beach the wind gets blocked like we said so it's great and oh if you're wondering about
uh temperature the temperature usually is about 21 degrees Celsius a day but on the days where
it's not windy and like when there's no clouds in the sky which is quite often the case it can
be 24 degrees Celsius towards the end of October of October all right we're back at our means of
transportation here huh yeah speaking of that one thing we love about Nexus which probably applies
to a lot of Greek Islands is the different ways that you can get around of course they
have public transit and that's definitely the most inexpensive way to get around but probably not the
most convenient you can of course rent a car we did that in a previous video but like there's not
that many places in the world where you can use ATV or quad bikes or like buggies TVs whatever you
want to call them this one around on the streets how much was this about 40 euros yeah we went for
the one that's a little bit bigger just because the small one seemed a little bit too small yeah
but the big one was 40 euros per day yeah it's like for 300 cc is what they call it but it's
it's pretty hefty it does a trick for us it is we could probably go up mountains if we wanted to
so driving around the roads here is actually pretty easy right now in low season there's
not much traffic at all feels pretty easy right I can't hear you right we are just making our
way into the main part of town right now we're gonna go down to support I believe first time
we've ever driven through town the only thing I think you really really have to be careful of is
that there's a lot of one-way streets people don't have a GPS on at the moment because that would be
a little hard to do on an ATV so much easier in a car but here you have to be extra careful I think
the audio was pretty bad in that last clip yeah if you did didn't get the point or you didn't
understand what we were saying basically we've made our way down to the port and we're gonna
go up to the Temple of Apollo really really cool spot we did it in like the last the last videos or
I should say the last time we were in Nexus which was like four years ago so not in this series but
it's really cool up there it's also really me how you get them it's kind of like a Causeway look
and there's water on both sides one side's really rough and then one side is like super I know this
side is really calm it's funny sometimes you can get Splash it's not too bad yeah but the uh the
temple you can kind of see the top of it just up there like that little blip so it is a bit of a
climb to get up here but it is absolutely worth it one of the other things we love about Greece
is this kind of stuff I mean all the history of it this applies to everywhere in Greece but
there's so much history here we see it every day and we're just totally used to it now yeah I think
if you're a history nut or a history buff you're just gonna love Greece you've probably been here
before if you are that into history but if not it's definitely the place for you and when you're
living here it feels a little different because we just see it all the time and I'm not saying
it gets old but it's just like part of our daily routine so today we thought we'd take you guys up
so behind me is the Temple of Apollo or at least what remains of it it was built in the 6th Century
BC and now it's basically just a door that still stands it's also called the naxos portera or the
great door and it's known as the jewel of naxos it's funny because when you see it from town it
doesn't actually look that big but when you come up here it's really really a monstrous in person
I don't even know if you can tell from the camera lens but I do have some facts for you about the
size of it it's made out of marble and it's about six meters high and 3.5 meters across consists of
separate lot of monoliths and each one weighs 20 tons so yeah it's big 20 tons tons not the whole
thing each individual portion of it you would oh my how on Earth do they construct that in six
and how about the view honestly if you're not into history it's worth coming up here right
where I'm standing just to see naxos town the main part here horror the view is impeccable and
such a contrast like you can see the ocean we're surrounded by it and then you get all those white
buildings oh Greece we love you so as much as I love the aesthetic how pretty this town is the
other thing I love about the architecture here is that there's no major high-rises I don't know if
anything's over like three stories yeah so it's nice and low not gonna say undeveloped because
it's definitely a developed eyelid also no major sprawling Resorts or like all inclusives yeah and
it's funny we didn't even really think about that until like the last week or so but once
we did we're like wow that's so unique yeah it definitely changes the vibe well now speaking of
the time of year that we're here once again we made a decision to stay right here in the main
town in horror and I'm so glad we did because so much has shut down now not so much here in the
main Town though but the other towns it's funny we actually almost booked an apartment like came
this close to booking an apartment in the area we were just in by the beach it was literally
seconds from there which would have been great except not much is open this time of year so we
maybe would have had two restaurants to choose from or to come into town all the time I'm glad
we went with it we went with our gut there we had a feeling that might be the case and thankfully
we we chose right because it's been really easy to get food and you know cafes are open we can
do almost anything still but if we were not in the main town that would not be the case at all
foreign
well we've been dying to come up to this structure that's kind of on this little Cliff right here in
town and yeah you can probably tell by the footage that you just saw that it looks so incredible yeah
so this is actually an abandoned restaurant I know you can try to learn a little bit about it and it
seems like everybody kind of has a different story I think somebody told us it was abandoned in the
70s I also read online that I was abandoned in the year 2000 so that's very different someone also
kind of hinted to us maybe a week or two ago that they heard this might be sold to someone I don't
know how it wouldn't be it's quite the quite the structure it's quite the location it's like really
the best location if it's been abandoned for 40 30 20 years yeah it's amazing like it's amazing that
nothing's ever this this is the spot clearly for Sunset it is well but while we have a bit of light
let's go let's just go walk around this place it's a neat perspective from up here because you can
see the town in the background but look at this don't fall down there first of all but look at
all the rubble and yeah so it's should we change our channel into one of those abandoned places
you kind of see the classic graffiti around it's it's this is just kind of like scribbling and
etchings I'm sure people come up here I don't think there's any murals like the other place
no I don't think there's any like I'm like we haven't actually gone inside so maybe we're
wrong but I think it's just a place that people come and hang out they probably have some drinks
catching Sunset I bet you people come here late at night as well one thing I read about this place no
clue if this is true or not was that this was when it said they closed in 2000 was that there was a
restaurant here and because of the way the wind comes around here the noise from the restaurant
actually traveled into town and people complained so much about how loud this place was that they
had to shut down you know like from the you mean from the wind noise yeah well the wind the noise
from the restaurant carried by the wind into the town so like music and everything would just like
oh I see right it would just kind of go that way because Town's that way probably right across
the water but back to do we still love it here in naxos Greece yeah we do and you know what one of
the main things and this is just Greece in general especially when you're on the islands is just the
Sun sets like every day there's a crazy Sunset I mean like Santorini sunsets look at Anna coming
in the background you can see like the glow of the sunset behind the little Hill there you like
golden hour light you're gonna love it here well there's no like incredible graffiti here like I
likeo Beach but yeah there's I mean there's some things happening yeah I mean it's just okay yeah
but for me obviously the other place that we went to in the other video the abandoned Hotel you're
looking for street art graffiti that's the place to go this is the place to go first ones yeah
this is definitely the place to go for Sunset it's interesting that this is right in this really kind
of like clean Greek Town because there's lots of kind of rubbish and trash around I guess I would
say yeah as I said I bet people come here late at night drink just leave their garbage behind
unfortunately but you know it's just an abandoned building yeah but the fact that you can walk up
here is really neat this is prime prime locate oh my look at the this view is crazy look at that
yeah quite the view that you get of naxos from up here it would be really cool if this
becomes a restaurant at some point I know can you imagine like even seeing the wall
and everything I bet you they could make this into a one Epic restaurant look at that view
like you just said that I know but it would be amazing so the question of the day do we
still love living here in Greece I think the answer is obviously no it's terrible
I mean I think it's pretty obvious from probably the first point we talked about we have had a
blast and back to it's been a dream of ours I think we said in a previous video that we always
wanted to travel to Greece and kind of live on a Greek island and here we are we traveled to Greece
in the past yeah having traveled to recent house we wanted to come spend significantly more time
that was a dream exactly we spend so much time here specifically on an island though so that's
the best part and we're in here we are coming to the I mean it's close to the end of living here
and sitting there I think it's going to be one of the things that we do again we're trying to
if you're new around here we're trying to look for places that we might live around the world
like where we could spend a significant amount of time in the EU as Canadians we can be here for 90
days yeah and just having been here for a few weeks now okay maybe it's been a month I'm not
even sure at this point yeah it just reiterates how much I love this country I just love it now
there's something so much that feels very homey for us and this town is is just perfect for what
we're looking for so it's been a blast I hope you guys had fun coming along in the video today it's
