last time and delightful travelers we started our new life in Greece we checked out the
beautiful island of Corfu but we realized there was another Island calling our name
that island is naxos in this video we're showing you around our new Greek island home where we'll
be living for the next little while I'm Anna and this is Trevor in this series we're finally
experiencing one of our ultimate dreams living in Greece make sure to hit subscribe and click

and patrons for making these videos possible Welcome to our new home I'm on my way now
well
we're back on an island again and this time it is not in the Caribbean it's right here in Greece in
one of our favorite countries in the entire world I know we left you hanging in the last video it's
probably obvious now as to where we are we decided to come to naxos we love this island
so much and if you're new it's Trevor and Anna delightful Travelers hit subscribe a lot of fun
things coming up so if you've ever wondered what it's like to live on a Greek island this series
is gonna be for you we've been talking about slow travel as in the last couple of months as
we traveled around Europe going a little bit too quickly so now it's time slow it down and
live here on naxos however we didn't get any of the sort of specialty that we're using up
the rest of our 90 days here in Europe to live here on Nexus so before we get going do us a
favor take one second maybe three seconds to hit the like button right down there honestly
it just helps us out and get the video out there to other like-minded Travelers just like all of
us but how about this standing right here on a Sandy Beach crystal clear water we're right in
town here in the main part it's called Torah in naxos and this beach is called something like
agios giorgios pretty sure I got that one right all right it's time for the traditional water
test I have a feeling it might be a little cold it's a little chilly like it's still
duel but it's a little chilly if you guys are wondering we're actually here
probably wondering that the water is a little chilly so you might be wondering why did we pick
naxas when there's literally hundreds of islands we could have chosen from basically like we've
been here before so we knew we really liked it we did debate going to a new island or coming back to
one that we've been to before as a lot of you guys will know we're just on Corfu and it was starting
to get really rainy and we read that in October it can be particularly cool and rainy so we decided
that's probably not the best bet Nexus is really well located it's right kind of in the central
ceclari so it's very close to other Islands as opposed to Santorini and Mykonos and a bunch of
other Islands it's also not that far from Athens as well it's also really good internet and where
we work for ourselves is super important the other thing we figured about this island because it's
big we thought that a lots of places would remain open for the shoulder season and so far that is
the case now I'm sure as we kind of get through the weeks here and through the months that lots
of stuff will shut down but so far Lots is open but how about this I'm sure any of you watching
that have been to naxos before are going there's like nobody on this beach this is heaven this is
Paradise there's not many people here at all and it's still hot enough to go to the beach speaking
about hot enough to go to the beach let's talk about the weather here in October today is perfect
I think it's about 24 degrees sunny and not overly windy but it can get super windy here I think
naxos is really famous for its wind especially in October and so people did warn us of that so
we've had a few days of really really beautiful hot weather then it got super windy and it wasn't
just here on Nexus we heard that like a bunch of fairies were actually canceled all the way from
Athens down to Crete so it was all throughout the ladies all the way down to the street there was
loads and loads of wind the water was super choppy now it's beautiful again I think it's going to get
windy again as well we're just making our way into town now and we definitely can't help but
notice that things have changed since we were here four years ago a lot more trendy places a
lot more expensive places it's almost like Mykonos has rubbed off a little bit and there's like these
cute bars expensive bars we've seen some cocktails that are like 11 or 12 euros haven't done that yet
but you'll also see in future videos that there's a lot of really nice coffee shops as well and
it's great for people like us that are digital Nomads yeah but they're not just regular coffee
shops they're straight up hipster coffee shops sprayed out of broken you can probably tell just
how beautiful this little town is we absolutely fell in love with it years ago funny enough we
hear from you guys all the time that'll tell us you were recently in Greece you loved it most of
you loved it anyway but a lot of people say they went to Mikado and I think they go there thinking
that it's the only place that you can get these beautiful white and blue buildings there's lots of
lots of islands in the Cyclades that all kind of look like that nikonosa in itself we haven't been
but we hear it's quite overpriced and it's kind of a party place so definitely not for us and I'm not
not for a lot of you guys too I think yeah and well you can tell that we didn't choose a party
island here did we I mean this is this is pretty uh well I call this very change yeah I bet you in
the summer you can get some parties here but it's definitely more laid back this is also one of the
main sections here down towards the water not many people here at all but everything seems to be open
there is some people in restaurants so yeah I like it yeah not too bad again we'll probably
see as the videos go along how things will change throughout the course of October like into the
from going from shoulder season to the end of the season it's gonna be interesting let's see what
we can find in this place we're just looking for a sandwich or something like that this is a cool
little shop kind of deli style you can get your own drinks if you have beer and wine here we're
going for the beer I'm Gonna Leave sandwiches and stuff we thought we'd probably end up with like
a sandwich or something but we kind of went for something a little bit Greek so if you guys are
curious about Greek food we've done a whole bunch of videos in the past all over different parts of
Greece but we have done a few like Food Tours and we ate this in the past it's called kulori so it's
kind of like a bagel or sort of like I guess kind of a pretzel it's basically bread covered
in sesame seeds and you can find them basically everywhere there's basically a sort of street
food this time they turned it into a sandwich I don't know if I've ever seen that before it's got
turkey and I think some cream cheese on there yeah we have to try it out I'm very curious what it's
going to taste like now we'll put the price up on the screen but it was only like a couple Euros so
for those of you from Canada you might be familiar with the Montreal bagel which honestly is probably
the best bagel in the world sorry if New York but they're the best kind of reminds me of that
because this is covered in so many many sesame seeds I love cream cheese on a bagel and obviously
on a sandwich too and with it it's got turkey it's really really simple but it's all about the sesame
seeds mine actually looks a little bit different there's like dark poppy seeds on this but I'm not
going to try that Anna just described it perfectly I think but I will talk about this beer quickly
this is a new one I discovered here in Greece it's like one of the domestic beers and I would
say so far it's probably my favorite now I'm very curious if there's any Greeks watching like what
is your favorite Greek kind of domestic beer this is definitely one of mine now if you're hoping
that we're going to go to some other you know bigger restaurants and things like that we will
throughout the course of this series today we just wanted a quick snack and we're so happy that you
can kind of tuck in and out of these places for honestly just a few Euro have a lunge and get on
your way we're just on our way back to our place now we thought it's time to show you guys where
we are staying it's about a 10 minute walk from where we just were in a five minute walk from the
beach we were on super earlier so convenient yeah we made uh close to the beach a priority oh and
I got a Frito espresso well welcome to our place that we've rented for our time here in Nexus we'll
give you a quick little tour this is a one bedroom apartment which was actually really hard to find
we did a whole lot of research it took a while but we did find this place which is great it's got a
very small kitchen so if you're coming here to do a whole lot of cooking might not be ideal but it's
great for us got like a half size fridge there totally fine for us and a cooktop we do have a
nice couch here it might be a pull out I'm not sure we didn't test it yet and I made a little
makeshift desk over here for working so that's great also have the TV too huh yeah whenever we
rent apartments like this especially for a long time we always come in with the intentions of
starting to watch those shows but we've been like catching up on work and trying to edit videos and
get them out and honestly present time we need to find time to watch some shows I know well we do
have another feature that's probably the best one and it's right over this way welcome to the patio
area it's pretty big it is really big it's got a drying rack out here as well or whatever you want
to call that a line and there's one on the other side we'll show you that as well there were two
tables I really only and wait for it just wait here's the best part oh there's a pool down there
so we made sure to get a pool on our stay here especially in October all right we'll take you
guys and show you the rest of the place there's another patio right here nothing really on it
just a back view I'll quickly kind of show you what you look out on if you're curious just to
like how does Greece look from from our place just a bunch of buildings really but there is another
room yeah and we're already like a very local neighborhood a lot of people live around here
it's not just apartments and uh hotels but this is our bedroom it's really really big queen size
bed there's another TV over there and of course we go to the patio on this side as well yeah there's
a little closet behind you that does the trick for us given we don't have a lot of luggage we
unpacked everything this is all our clothes right there last up we have this small little bathroom
now we aren't here for a while but we think we can make this work you got the toilet there is a nice
little vanity as well but the one problem that is well we're trying to figure this out is the shower
it's just really small there's no shower curtain either so when you shower the toilet gets wet
the whole floor get is wet and it has like kind of one of these handles pretty common for Europe so I
think most people in Europe kind of just like hold this up there is a little place to hold it but it
when you turn the water on the pressure just makes it like fire straight up in the air so we don't we
don't do that too often so let's go back to the pool here for a minute it's the perfect size for
us and it's going to do the trick it's a shared pool of course but there's really not that many
people around at the moment anyway yeah you guys might think it's weird like why do you have a
pool when there's a beach that's five minutes away we're actually super happy that we ended up going
for a pool as I said before we found a whole bunch of other places they were a little bit cheaper we
did find a couple of one bedrooms a couple of Studios if you didn't really want now we're
beautiful but didn't have a pool and we eventually decided it was a definitely something since we're
here for like a longer time we we knew just from being in the Dominican Republican doing this like
we really like to have in the pool we can get work done you know we work and travel we're not
just on vacation for all those of you that are new so we can just quickly get to the pool but
the other thing is because it's so wind here yeah today's the perfect Beach day but some of the days
where it's really really windy the water is super choppy and wavy and the wind is a little bit cool
so it's not the best beach day but down at the pool it's been great even on those days it's not
too windy and when the sun's out it's hot yeah so we definitely find it's worth it just to spend a
tiny bit more to get a pool so you guys also might be wondering how do I book this place we will
eventually put a link below but when this video first comes out we're still going to be staying
here and for hopeful hopefully obvious reasons we don't want people to know exactly where we are I
think would be pretty easy to figure it out if you knew the exact spot that we were in So eventually
probably a couple weeks after you're watching this we'll put the link in the description below which
is right below the video you just have to expand it and it'll be in there all right well it's a
little bit later now and it's about that time to find a happy hour place yeah we might have taken
a little bit of a break and maybe gone to the pool but it is happy hour now we're back down at
the beach about to find a place we have noticed some happy hour signs around so let's see if we
can refine them it's kind of neat I didn't notice this the first time around but there's this little
like Boardwalk that you can kind of walk on it but there are some places close so back to that yeah
this place is closed but nothing there there's still Lots open though there is and there's people
just kind of still around and it's like later in the day what is it like five o'clock I think it's
about five yeah still people out enjoying there's still a couple hours or an hour maybe if some left
so they're out enjoying it it's still super calm like can you see the water it's actually calmer
than it was earlier today well we found a little uh happy hour place it is called finicas and we
got some beer Cheers Cheers this is great we are sitting here with our feet in the sand once again
we haven't done that since the Dominican Republic but so calm now I know we said that already but
this is perfect yeah speaking of the Dominican Republic one of our favorite things when we talk
about it wherever we go is that it's rare to find places where you can actually sit down and have
tables right in the sand there's not that many places here that we've discovered so far but this
place so if any any of you are new around here and you clicked on the video and you're wondering like
how are you guys doing this like how are you gonna just kind of live in in Greece and we're
from Canada and we're going to live here as long as our the remainder of our a lot of time our days
basically with our passport uh can be so we work for ourselves we have the YouTube channel and we
do web design we've talked about this before I won't go into it again but you can go back in
videos and check that out yeah we have lots of videos where we explain the whole thing of all
the different things that we do to afford to be able to do something like this and we're not into
independently wealthy no or just let's call it slightly creative with what money we do and how
we travel yeah so speaking of how we travel this is the time finally we're settling into
this full-time travel we talked about we admit we failed at this in in the recent past like we
failed hard in Italy and we were supposed to do this in Italy but we just got way too excited
in Italy and decided to jump around on high-speed trains now we're here we're here for a long time
we're going to live here like a local yeah I can't wait this is something we've dreamed of as we've
said in the past videos for years and years it's something we always it was always a goal of ours
and then you know the pandemic happened which put a little bit a little bit Yeah but now we're back
at it and it's really really exciting I remember being here like four years ago something like that
and thinking like wow like how how amazing would it be to like live on one of these Greek Islands
someday I think we yeah I think we knew we'd come back but we did and we had some big goals
and like here we are and we're about to do it and it's just crazy for me to say out loud it's fun
to dream big it's great when things turn out the way that uh you're hoping they will and I
think we uh I think we made the right decision to be here plus we got some delicious Mythos
beer this time this one we know it's different than the one we had earlier yeah this is one of
the ones that you'll see a lot we're just gonna sit here I think we found maybe the perfect spot
to watch the sunset yeah this is this is pretty cool here we'll show you more it's pretty awesome
oh found a beach cat already this cat is not very interesting it's not he went over to some people
I know this is totally not into it we're also I don't think we're gonna get the sunset we were
hoping for a lot of clouds well this Sunset is now turning out better than I thought it would
it's definitely not perfect but you can see it's pretty behind us it's funny it's a lot in real
life right here it's a lot darker on the camera makes it a little brighter but there's a lot of
clouds but you can see that pink and purple kind of effect starting to happen we did come down here
a few nights ago and caught a perfect Sunset maybe we'll put a picture up here of it we should what
we got yeah we had uh some cool photos from the other night but now here we are living on a Greek
island it's a dream of ours and I'm so excited are you I'm so excited and I just I love that
we don't know what we're gonna do while we're here and like so much so much open-ended fun stuff like
yeah you probably noticed too we have sweaters on now because once the sun goes down it feels
like 15 degrees Celsius maybe a little bit it's not too bad tonight because there is no wind but
on some other nights it's been like chili yeah yeah pretty pretty chilly so I hope you guys are
as excited as we are if you're new it's Trevor and Anna delightful Travelers hit subscribe leave us a
comment let us know what you think the fact that we're even here heck share the video If you're
not new we love that you guys tune in each and every week we love reading your comments and we
and extra special thanks to the patreon and uh all the YouTube channel members you guys
um are the ones really that keep us on the road we can't thank you enough yeah and if you're
wondering like what are you gonna do while you're there you should go visit some other Islands I
know there's some really cool Islands really close to here we might be a little bit too late in the
season I'm still trying to figure that out but some people have told us that it's maybe too late
to go to those islands we noticed today that a lot of the smaller fairies are don't seem to be going
so I don't think we're going to be going off this island but this Island's actually pretty big we're
in the main town which is actually a decent sized Town yeah but the island itself is Big I'm sure
we're gonna probably rent a car or something or an ATV or one of those things I can't wait we're
gonna drive around the island yeah and if you guys want a little uh taste of what this place
is like we do have some next those videos from the past maybe we'll put a link on the screen
somewhere up here and you guys can check them out they're older videos but we were here before but
not like this time this time we're settling in and it's going to be so much fun here we are back in
