1) Greek people are really friendly and helpful, except for the ones who work in museums. You’d think they’d never seen a child before.
2) Tourists love posing like idiots in front of ancient monuments.
3) The British are a lot better than the Greeks at monument information and interpretation. The philosophy schools, workplace of Plato and Socrates (yes them) had no sign you could see from the footpath. It was only by studying a tiny map really carefully, that we worked out what the scrubby area of land surrounded by chicken wire actually was.
4) The Aegean Sea is the perfect temperature for cooling down after dusty, sticky Athens.
5) Grilled octopus is delicious and not at all chewy.
6) Churches in Naxos are apparently never open.
7) The 2pm bus from Halki to Naxos town could give the Northern Line at rush hour a run for its money. I expect the kind lady who put Dickon on her knee wasn’t aware quite how heavy he was. I hope the fact she got off at A&E wasn’t down to us.
8) You can’t drink the tap water in Naxos, it tastes of salt. But bottled water is €2 for 9 litres and it turns out that the knee high taps around town aren’t actually for washing your feet…
It's a small world after all 
I remember some scary museum attendants. All those amazing sculptures are just crying out to be touched but that makes them VERY cross.
