This time of year, the weather is becoming problematic. Stronger winds and rougher seas are more common. We were only on Naxos for a day when the weather turned again to super strong winds. Everyone in the marina hunkered down by running extra lines from their boats to shore and tying the boats together for added protection. And the winds came with a vengeance. The open sea had wave height of almost 10 feet and winds up around 40 knots. Fortunately in the marina, it was just strong winds and a little rocky. Nothing like a safe harbor when mother nature decides to throw a tantrum.
We headed further south and spent a couple of days on Ios. It is an island much like Mykonos with a town nestled safely at the top of the hill. This city has the traditional narrow winding streets lined with whitewashed buildings selling postcards and all the souvenirs a tourist may need to remember this beautiful island. This time of year, the crowds are gone and it feels like you are walking through a movie set that once was teaming with actions. Lots of bars and nightclubs attest to the pulse of activity that is present during “the season”.
