It could regrettably take some time to download these pictures, being from 29 to 40 kb. Be patient, the pictures are worth it!

There is a variety of plant life on the island. We buy this one in dried condition at home and pay between £1,50 and 2,00 a branch. (The name of the plant?)

The summer of ´97 we drove around Naxos on a very warm day (+35C). Deep in the mountains somewhere we saw a sign leading to a cave. We parked, and started walking towards the cave, but after 5 minutes of walking we came to this fountain with incredibly good, cold, fresh running water. Because of the heat we came no further than the fountain, where we cooled down as good as possible.
