Our New Life in Greece Starts Now! Expats Living in Naxos 🇬🇷

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- We have moved to Naxos, Greece. Naxos is a mi-size Greek island in the centre of the Cyclades. We've rented an apartment and we're so excited to be staying here for awhile and slowing down our travels.
In this video we walk around the main Naxos town, Chora. We discuss all the reasons we decided on Naxos to live including good internet speeds.
We also discuss the weather in Naxos during October, and what is open and closed given it's the end of the tourist season.
As we walk around we stop at a place called Gregory's Coffee Shop. We planned to get a sandwich but we found a Greek Koulouri (similar to a bagel) filled with cream cheese and turkey.
We take you on a tour of the apartment we rented for the full month. It's a one bedroom apartment and there is a pool as well.
Rent our apartment (look for Suite with Pool view): www.booking.com/hotel/gr/pens...
At the end of the video we make or way to Agios Georgios Beach (the main beach in town) for happy hour and sunset at a place called Finikas.

@@shareonrivas1458 🥰
It is imperative now to have a least one cat on every greece videos. glad you're hip to it.
😹
I would have made the same choice. That island feels like home. The mountains are magical and the beaches are perfect. Keep us posted!
🤗
I am so excited for you two!! just lay back and breathe in the clean, Greek island air...by the way, Mamos is definitely my favorite beer in Greece!! Yia'mas!!
Cheers Taki! Mamos is the best 🍻 - Trevor
Greece is paradise on earth. Each island has its own character and the people there are warm and open-minded. A great video from a very beautiful island...in one of the most beautiful countries. For me, too, there is only HELLAS greetings and good luck..jasas...🇬🇷🇬🇷💓🇬🇷👌
🤗
Nice to see you both back in Naxos! We visited in September and loved it. Wonderful restaurants, beaches and people. Your earlier video from Naxos helped inspired us to visit. We stayed about a block off of St George beach. Can not wait to return. Enjoy your extended stay.
So cool that our older video was helpful. Thanks Hank! - Trevor
Favourite Greek beer would have to be Mythos! Very refreshing and nice to have on a sunny day out!
Kitron (Main Street Chora) has excellent coffee - the best espresso freddo & fabulous food. The staff work so hard and excel in customer service!! 🇬🇷🥰. My son got married on Naxos in July and we spent 3 magical weeks there. You’ve chosen the best island!!!
From talking to staff all over Greece it sounds like it was a busy season - Trevor
By far the best island to live on. Good choice .
👍
Hi guys Naxos is absolutely beautiful 😍 I’m so happy that you both are living your best life and following your dreams together. The weather looks perfect
The weather is so nice Angie. We hope you're doing great in Aus 🤗 - Anna
OMG!! So jealous!! Naxos is my absolute favourite place in the world! Can't wait to see next episode! ❤️
Next episode will be out this Sunday 😀 - Trevor
Great job on choosing Naxos! However as the winter nears, your best bet for bigger town + warm weather would be Crete or Rhodes (that you've seen before) or even further.. Cyprus! They have swimming weather well into November there!
Also while you're on Naxos, make sure you do a day trip to Amorgos and Koufonisia..look them up 😎
Enjoy paradise!
Such great advice and tips here! Thanks so much - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Look forward to seeing more from you guys!
Living the dream! Naxos looks lovely. You've chosen well :D
So far so good.... we really like this island 🤗- Anna
You two ROCK, enjoy Greece!
🤙
Great video. My husband and I visited Naxos last year and fell in love with the Island. We can’t wait to go back.
Wish you all the best. I was there two weeks ago. My favorite Island is Paros.
enjoy your beautiful new home..cold and snow here in alberta. orginally from NB miss the fall in the martimes. enjoy Naxos!!
Thanks we will... wow snow already there in AB? - Anna
Hey guys.... Make sure you spend a couple of days in Syros island while you're in Naxos.
You'll see the most unique city in all of Cyclades! 😊
We passed through there on a ferry. It looks really nice 🤗 - Anna
Love your energy! it's contagious! xoxo
🥰
I was there 3 years ago , it’s a beautiful island, I’m so envious, enjoy 😊
Everyone seems to really like Naxos 🤗 - Anna
Just perfect! 🥰🤗
Pure 'Greek' Paradise 🤙- Trevor
Amazing..so excited for you both…❤
Thank you so much Kim 😀 - Anna
I love Naxos, been coming there since 1990.
We went on our honeymoon and loved it. Wanted to go visit again in 2020… but you know the rest. Love love love it!!
Hopefully you can make it there in 2023 🤗 - Anna
So cool guys !!! Love all your videos !! Good luck in this new adventure 😊❤
Thanks so much! 😊 - Anna
Looking forward to seeing your new adventures in Greece!! 🎉
Lots coming up... woohoo - Anna
Great video, felt like we were back there sitting on the beach for happy hour - thanks for sharing this part of your life with all of us.
🥰
I’m so happy for both of you that your dreams are coming true! Beautiful sunset! Just like in Cape Breton!!💖😀
🤗 We're so happy Janice - Anna
Looks like a perfect place to live for awhile! 🍻
Perfect
❤ can’t wait to watch the upcoming videos in Naxos
Thanks for watching Andrew - Trevor
Great that your back in Greece. Enjoy Naxos. You both look very happy.
Thanks Leigh! 😃
We are so happy you are living for the short time in your happy place! Anna love your dress you look fabulous! Great video guys! So happy for you! ~Cara 💖
We're so happy to be on a Greek Island for a while. What a place! 😀- Trevor
so happy for you guys as you can imagine jealous also winter has arrived in Banff and looks like it is gonna be for awhile I will keep warm by enjoying your videos
oh wow Winter already in Ab? That's too soon! - Anna
Can’t wait to return to Greece next year. Favourite island so far is Kos.
That island is on the list as well! - Anna
Well done, good decision. Looking forward to your videos.
Thank you!
We've been to Naxos several times and just love it. Have fun there.
Such a fun island 🤙 - Trevor
wow this place is sssooo beautiful! we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Greece in 2019. We wish we visited other islands around Greece!
It's amazing here guys. Which islands did you visit? - Trevor
Great idea! I love Mamos, discovered it this summer.
It's so good!
Awww that’s awesome! We were in Naxos last April! Cool island 🏝 We loved how laid back it is yet full of history. Blessings!
Nice! What other islands did you visit? 😀- Trevor
Mykonos and Santorini
We’ll be in Agia Prokopios second week of June. Can’t wait.
Nice video. Like your cute apartment. I was really wrong with my guesses lol. Looks like a great place to be, looking forward to more. Thanks and take care.
Our little apartment is perfect for us. Can't wait to share more 🤗 - Anna
Nice start to the series! Hope you will meet some locals to make it even more interesting! Or local cats 😂
We'll meet some cats before... people aren't easy to film randomly on camera haha - Anna
Great choice!! Naxos is not too small, and not too big either.
There are people who live there, all year round... There are villages and sites to explore... Every day life , that looks like a holiday too.....
I hope you love it there... I like the fact , that we will get a glimpse of that life, through you. Thanks so much for that...
This will be a very mild winter for Europe anyway...
So appreciate that 🥰 We can't wait to see some of the villages - Anna
Very excited for your upcoming videos, and happy for you! Ken and I hope one day to be able to spend a month or two in the Islands. We have been to Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Olympia (Kalamata) and Athens. I've researched both Naxos & Paros for long term stay. So, really looking forward to all of the information you will share with us. Have a fantastic time living the dream. - Coreen
We think you'd really like Naxos and Paros. They are the perfect islands in our opinions (though it was hard to leave Corfu) haha - Anna
Love your place
Thanks! :) - Trevor
I remember coming to Naxos many years ago (2003) and I believe that beach being very shallow which kept the water warmer. Hopefully it warmed up for you that day :)
Beautiful video
Thank you! Cheers!
We finally made it to Greece this summer after our original plan for 2020 had to be postponed. We chose Naxos and Paros, thanks in part to your previous videos from these islands. We had a great time and loved both islands for their unique qualities. We stayed in Agios Prokopios on Naxos and just loved the small village feel of that area! Naxos is a large island and we enjoyed exploring as much of it as we could in our short visit, I'm sure you will love slow traveling there when you can take your time! Thank you for sharing your experiences and giving such great perspectives on your locations!
Agios Prokopios is our fav beach for sure! What a spot .. we didn't make it there last time 😀 - Trevor
Hey guys. Haven’t been to Naxos so looking forward to exploring it with you and enjoying the slower pace. Cheers, Dan. ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks Daniel... so much coming up on on Naxos. We're excited to share more of this great island (and town) 😀 - Trevor
Super video as always, glad you found a good beer "Dear". lol. wish I were near.....
🤗 Thanks Janice! - Anna
The new do's look great!
🥰
Was there in September. Loved it❤
Such a great island! - Anna
You livin the life now
🤙
Hi Trevor and Anna, welcome to Greece! Just found your videos, so glad you enjoy spending time in our beautiful country. If you have time consider staying for a day or two on the island of Syros. It’s the administrative capital of the Cycladic islands and has an incredible history and architecture. It has a sizeable all-year round population too. Cheers. Rob
Yes we heard lots about Syros. I don't think we can make that happen this time around but it's an island on our 'future list' for sure 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers Great! I hope you make it another time! Meanwhile have a fantastic time on Naxos. Best, Rob x
Iraklia is only an hour ferry ride away but it's probably too late in the season for a day trip. A nice beach at the port and Livadi beach is only a twenty minute walk away. Check it out for next spring.
We'll keep it mind for sure. We're told a lot of smaller islands are 'closing up' - Trevor
Check out One Day Cruises from Chora. You can get to Piso Livadi on the eastern side of Paros which you can see from where you are. Otherwise it is a long drive from the western side of Paros.
Oh good to know. Thanks Stanley 🤗 - Anna
Hope you're enjoying the weather today.
It was just some clouds 😀 We're from Canada remember 😉
@@DelightfulTravellers how'd you manage to miss the hours long downpour?
@@cynthiawells2744 We weren't there today :)
Naxos looks so cool and laid back! I was on a ferry from Athens to Mykonos and we dropped off some passengers there. Now I wish I went off and explored too! Looking forward to your food vlogs there. I am curious about the variety!
It's worth planning a trip back just for this island TT - Trevor
Excited to see what Naxos has to offer in off season!
If Cedar Café at Plaka beach is still open, make sure to go there for lunch or dinner at some point. Great food, but mostly nice wibe and great music!
Noted thanks so much - Trevor
Wow enjoy your new home. We miss you Dominican home. Good luck.
Don't worry we'll be back in the DR at some point. That's still our 2nd home 🤙 - Trevor
Best of luck hope you guys have a blast. If you have not been yet visit Ermoupolis Syros. It's the capital of the cyclades, the town is beautiful and offers alot.
We heard so much about Syros. Clearly we have to visit there - Anna
We are so excited for this series!! You chose the perfect island. After we visited Naxos, we immediately went online to look at real estate just dreaming about living there. 🤣 We remember watching your old videos on Naxos to plan our trip and now you're there again. It all comes full circle!
haha we've looked at some listings as well. It took us 2 days and lots of wine but yeah we went down that path 😜 The island is such a gem - Trevor
As Matt and Rachel noted in their previous comment, I also watched your Greece videos several years ago while planning our May 2020 trip to the islands. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to Covid. What a nice surprise to see that you are back in Naxos as it will be one of our stops when we finally get there in May 2023. I look forward to following you as you explore the island.
@@dianebeauvais-bishop4125 So luv hearing that Diane 🤗 We're mainly sticking to Naxos in this series so get ready for more of this incredible island
Ditto on all that!
As ever, great video you two and another fantastic Greek island for my wife and I to visit in the future. Im afraid were Santorini junkies and adore the place as we got married there, but are always open to another adventure. One island rarely visited which is beautiful is Symi. We can definitely recommend a visit. Stay safe and enjoy life. Steve and Ali
We've been to Symi and have a video on it 😉 Santorini junkies!? Didn't know that existed. We don't really like that island! Visually yes.. but it's just waaaay to over crowded - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Just viewed the Symi vid 👍 'Junkies' as in addicted to a place, like you and Anna would be travel junkies. Yes, unfortunately Santorini is getting much too crowded, nothing like it was when we visited 15 years ago.
Hey guys, I love your content. I haven't missed an episode since we met on the street in Cabarete in February! As a fellow Canadian I'm curious what you guys do for health insurance? Maybe you've shared that already. It would actually be cool if you did a video on tips and tools like insurance, flights, accommodations etc??? I love your work, thanks so much for all the work you do and I hope to bump into you again sometime 😊
Hey Corey.. we hope you're doing great! We use Safety Wing for travel insurance. We highly recommend them as well. We have talked about everything you mentioned in various videos spread out here and there 😀- Trevor
Montreal style bagels are the best. I have to find a place in Lower Sackville as I miss them lol.
Love your videos and travel
They really are the best! Thanks for watching Susanne 🤗 - Anna
Been in Naxos. Loved it. Your video talk about you and nothing a bout the beautiful island. Pointless. Have fun though
Love Naxos 💙😻 I was there in august, greetings from Athens 💙🇬🇷
It must have been a lot busier in August I bet? Thanks for watching 🤗 - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers yes!! Too much crowded with tourists but still so nice 👍 now I bet it’s a lot better and more relax
See you in NAXOS in late MAY. On my way back there from Ukraine to Sardinia. GREAT choice !!! Visited in 2017. Best place up there with CHANIA.
So happy you've found an island that suits you best. It's beautiful and definitely more my kinda pace. Here in Cape Town we can get a ferocious South Easter that can blow a gale in the summer. Love your dress Anna. Take care.
Woh a South Easter... being from the North we only hear of Nor-Easters 🥶 Hope things warm up there soon Wendy - Trevor
Wendy - I love your comment. I'm from Noordhoek in Cape Town and bought 2 properties on Naxos island a few years ago - every time the locals complained about the wind in Naxos, at times apologizing that its so windy, I just smile and tell them it's a gentle breeze compared to Cape Town
@@carlaheskel8476 that's just down the rd from me in Sun Valley. Yes our SE is a different kind of beast for sure. We just batten down the hatches and wait it out. It blows away all the pollution. Just something we live with in summer.
my favorite spots are the second hand bookstore, Lucullus and Girasole to eat, Diogenes for cheap weak bananacoladas...and the best place to eat (for us) is the Picasso plaka.
Dear Delightful Two. You are very informative but you also fill the screen with yourself almost all the time. Consequently, by now I know your faces very well but the country in the background behind you is also very interesting and would love to see more of it :-)). I think your viewing rate may go up significantly as well.
Thanks for watching Russet
Greek here. I do like Mamos a lot. Fix is also a good choice.
Noted.. will try Fix soon 🍻 - Trevor
I was in Naxos in August love it one of my favorite places in Greece, but I also went to Koufonisi is a small island near by 🇬🇷💙
Was it busy in August? Thanks for watching Sergio - Anna
It was extremely busy !
Greece was rated 2nd highest tourist destination in Europe for this summer
@@sergiopiparo4084 Good to know!
We love Naxos - can recommend you Paros and Antiparos as well. Our favorite local beer is ALFA. would love to see a vlog from the old market part of the Chora .)
Old market is coming up soon plus we have videos on Paros / Anti.. older vids :)
we just visited Naxos in August. Naxos/Paros were our favorites by far. I do have to say the small towns of Paros take the cake over Naxos though
Nice! Question is have you been to the small towns of Naxos? 😉 - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers Yes we visited both but there was just something about Piso Livadi and Lefkes that we loved. ALso golden beach in paros was great. Naxos town was our favorite place to stay no doubt
Dining in the sand at Nikos and Maria down in Plaka Beach. Wonderful experience. Reservations needed if you want the tables closest to the water. That part may be closed for the season, though.
So much has been closed in Plaka. We will still make our way down there though 😀 - Trevor
My favorite beer is Fix!
Mamos! ha
Love Naxos! Check out the guys at the Kings of Candy store where they make it by hand.
😋
Greece has Digital Nomad visas, valid for up to 12 months (over 6 months and you are liable for Greek taxation). Might be worth investigating since you're on one of the best Greek islands.
Yes we're looking into that actually 🤗 - Anna
I love you guys- I’m going to Mexico- cancun.
Can you send me pictures of Greece 🥰
looks nice but i still prefer corfu but i do see why you picked this hope u have a great time
Thanks for watching! - Anna
Congrats for living the dream, guys! I can tell you are excited and I totally share your excitement. We are planning on moving to Greece next year, so I just feel you ;) Just super curious where you found the apartment(airbnb, spitogatos etc.) and what is the cost of the rent, if you are willing to share that. Good luck and enjoy your greek adventure!
We found the apartment on AirBnb and we put the link to the place in the description of the video 👍- Trevor
Hi Dan my wife and I have been living in Greece just minutes from Nafplio for over a year and been coming here for over twenty. We can definitely help you to guide through any issues in settling in one of the most beautiful places on earth, send me an email and we can chat 😀. Best regards Frank and Timi
If you want greek popular beer with character, try Fix (lager) or Kaiser (pilsner). The later is a bit bitter and perfectly accompanies cheese :)
Noted!
i want to do that too , to go to live in a greek island
Favored beer mythos
My favourite Greek beer is Alfa.
Mamos for us so far! - Anna
Naxos was for sure the best choise between Cyclades islands to spend winter months. Btw...i think better to post videos not with a month delay...its strange to watch you with suim suits durring November ;)
Thanks for watching! Most TH-camrs aren't up to date with videos FYI. We'll always be behind as it's a ton of work 😀- Trevor
Είστε καλά;;
Shocking. Actually going to a church in Ios. Thats novel!
Ahh this looks like Heaven and you both seem so relaxed. Ok, gotta ask: what’s up with that vanity??? 😱
haha 🤷🏻♀️
Are you guys going back to DR ..greece very nice beautiful but 2 far out I prefer the Caribbean Mexico , Jamaica , DR …
At some point yes.. back to the DR for sure! - Trevor
Pl do a cost of living video for slow travel n how much is the rental for yr accomodation in naxos. Thnkx
We just put out a 'Cost of Living' video 3 days ago. Did you not see that? - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers hi yes i jus noticed after i sent the earlier msg. Thanks so much. Both of u r doing such good work, kudos
Let us know how the winter winds of the Cyclades compares to North American winters!
Naxos is the biggest and most fertile island of the Cyclades.
❤️🇬🇷
So happy to have discovered your channel! Congratulations in your choice of a lovely island. Could I ask why you didn't choose Corfu as we're thinking of going there for a few months.
It was all about the weather this time of year. It rained quite a bit on Corfu which is normal for the fall / autumn 🤗 - Anna
Which insurance do you use
Safety Wing!
Comment
Wait... I thought it was Corfu...?
Watch the last video 😉- Trevor
What visa did you get to stay long term in Greece?
We're just going off our Canadian passport (max days) - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers I'd love to do the same, eventually. Naxos is my favorite island.
