We live in Kassiopi (Corfu) for 8 months of the year during the season as we have 4 apartments there, we rent 3 out and live in the other one. We love life in Greece, but also love to come back to the UK in the Winter where we also have a house and where our 2 sons live. You must visit Kassiopi if you haven't ever been, it's beautiful

It's lovely to see fellow Canadians appreciate my parents homeland. Greece often gets a bad rap, but the Greek people have filotimo.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We’re having a great time in Greece as always. We ❤️ it here - Anna

[@jasonlk9472]

Not all of them have filotimo Helen. Perhaps you find the Greeks kinder, because you are a foreigner and in most cases they treat foreigners better than their compatriots. But if someone wants to to find out if a people is trully kind and friendly, they should try to associate and connect to the people of that nation. Just a ''hi, how are you'' does not show much.

[@helenstamadianos7348]

@@jasonlk9472, I am considered a foreigner when in Greece, and I know what you mean. My husband was born in Greece, and he considers himself Canadian. I love visiting Greece, but couldn't ever live there, neither could my husband. There will always be issues, but , for the most part, they treat foreigners very well, they need their $$

[@jasonlk9472]

@@helenstamadianos7348 , I see. I am Greek and I live in Greece. There are many stereotypes about the Greeks, both positive and negative, but as usual, stereotypes are extravagant. I work in the Greek islands in the summers and I have noticed that US Americans, Canadians, Americans of South America and the Brits are friendlier.

When I saw you having the Greek yogurt and honey it made me smile. We were in Naxos in June/July and I had Greek yogurt with fruit and honey every morning! We have been going to Naxos every year since 2015. I’m Greek and my husband and I got married there at the small church in St. George. Our wedding planners are also Canadian/Greek and live in Naxos. We have met so many wonderful people there who are now our friends and look forward to going every year. Enjoy your time there. How long will you be there?

Moussaka is one of our favorite meals in Greece. I've even made it a few times at home since our 1st trip to Greece in 2010.

I enjoyed this video and seeing you explore the sights from Plaka Beach and south that we also enjoyed in September. We also enjoyed our two-week slow travel in Naxos after a hectic seven-day cruise around the Greek islands (check out Celestyal Cruises). If you enjoy wild beaches search for Amitis Bay north of Chora. You'll probably see the photos that I took of the Blue Ocean Tropical Bar which just opened this past June. It's probably closed now but next spring you can meet John and Shirley who built the bar and who are from the Netherlands.

ONLY GREECE ....THE BEST PLACE🇬🇷🇬🇷💓💓

[@sn_all_test]

I am glad you liked Naxos.. I wish my experience was as positive as yous but unfortunately it wasn't. i was there in August for 4 days. my second visit after 5 years. Basically the island had no significant changes over the years it just got more expensive.and the food quality got from really good to.. ok? The memories i will keep from my visit are that we got sick from bad food and got scammed to pay double the agreed rental for the car we rented. But as we say in Greece: Παμε για άλλα. PS: Haloumi cheese is from Cyprus. Traditional saganaki is made with kefalotyri cheese. The Naxian cheese that comes close to that in taste is Arseniko. However saganaki basically refers to the method of preparation (fried in a pan) which means that you can make saganaki wiht almost any (hard) cheese. Cheers and enjoy your trip!!!!!

Off course there are plenty other villages on the island. If you manage to book an island tour with a guide, I bet you’d be surprised what a gem Naxos is.

Filoti is literally the least impressive of the mountain villages, with Apiranthos being the best one and Chalki coming second. It does have a lot of things to do though, since there are many locals living there, mainly because it's the largest of the mountain villages.

cutted cat ears in Greece = can't get kitten anymore. Which is so so important for the cats. At some islands you can see if it is a girl or a boy because of the side of the ear.
