Everything about Food and Wine
Fish Tavern Koynelas, Mykonos
A wonderful final evening in Mykonos before returning to Athens and continuing our Greek adventure.
Greece 2026 - Day 9, Naxos-Mykonos
After several busy days of sightseeing, this was one of those rare mornings where nobody felt the need to rush.
Kozi Restaurant, Naxos
Before catching our ferry to Mykonos, we had some time to spare near Portara and decided to have a simple lunch at Kozi Restaurant.
La Petite Taverne, Mykonos
Our first dinner in Mykonos was at La Petite Taverne, a charming traditional Greek restaurant tucked within the maze of whitewashed streets of Chora.
Greece 2026 - Day 8, Naxos
Today was also the final full day for the Yeos before they returned to Athens and eventually home.
Taverna Paradiso, Naxos
It was one of those afternoons that quietly reminds you what holidays are really about.
Doukato, Naxos
Our final evening in Naxos ended exactly the way a Greek island holiday should.
Greece 2026 - Day 7, Naxos
On paper, this should have been the worst day of our Naxos trip. In reality, it turned out to be one of the most memorable.
Taverna Platanos, Naxos
Taverna Platanos is not a restaurant that tries to impress with modern techniques or fancy presentations. What it offers is generous portions, honest cooking, warm hospitality and a sense of place.
Greece 2026 - Day 6, Naxos
2 May 2026
Naxos, Greece
Weather: The day began with sunshine and patches of blue sky over Santorini. Conditions remained pleasant during the ferry crossing to Naxos, although strong winds became increasingly noticeable upon arrival. Clouds gradually built up during the afternoon, creating dramatic skies over the island. A short evening shower passed through during dinner, followed by cooler temperatures and a refreshing breeze for the rest of the night.
The morning began with a final look across the caldera from Firostefani before we checked out of Agali and made our way down to Thira Port for the ferry to Naxos. The weather looked promising, though dark clouds lingered in the distance as if Santorini was reluctant to let us leave.
While waiting for our SeaJets ferry, we settled into a small café called The Dock for breakfast. The coffee arrived quickly but the food took its own sweet time. With only one chef working in the tiny kitchen, orders were piling up.
Taverna Naxos
The difference in pricing compared to Santorini was immediately noticeable.
To Elliniko, Naxos
Dinner was at To Elliniko, another well regarded local restaurant that was recommended to us.
