Summer in the Greek Islands We love Greece in the summer. The islands are truly idyllic, with amazing food, beaches and cute towns and shops. The white houses with their blue shutters, and painted walkways through town, add to the vibe. Plus the islands are safe. We’ve felt comfortable letting… Read More
Naxos Greece Greece is our favorite country. We go at least once a year, typically to Naxos and/or Paros every other year, and then to other islands or mainland destinations in the off years. Naxos remains our favorite island. I wrote about our first two trips to Naxos in this… Read More

I visited several times in college – meeting up with a friend in Zurich, spending a weekend with friends hiking up and down the ski slopes in Crans-Montana and making the requisite… Read More
