- Come with me on the first stop of my Summer Greek Island Hopping Adventure. I have never done such a last minute trip with no plans before and I decided to do it last minute to see what is possible to do summer island hopping in Greece.

I have a travel wardrobe that I update every few years, I only wear these clothes on holidays. I aways travel to warm destinations so there’s that lol. I have my carry on bag packed permanently 😊 I wash it all when I get home & then just before I travel again. I’m ready to go anytime to any place, as long as it’s a warm destinations lol Off to Greece for the first time this year in September solo.
That is awesome! I try to keep my toiletries packed at all times. I can pack fast now that I do it so much.
Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s we would show up on an island without any booking and just go pick someone with a sign at the Harbour. Hell once I even went to Pireas port and picked the next next boat going to an island, wanted to go to Folegandros but had to wait too long and instead hoped on the one to IOS.
I wish it was still possible to do this. Very rarely do I see people offering rooms at the ports nowadays. And now I am not sure they would be very nice.
@@agirlandherpassportare you working for cia ??😅😅
Wow Naxos has changed a lot since my last visit in 1999.
Hopefully I will get the chance to visit it again soon.
You seem like you are at home and have this glow when you are in Naxos. Great last minute decision. I look forward to seeing more.
It sure has! I hope you can visit again soon. Naxos always has that affect on me.
Island hopping was my first experience of Greece - in summer 1988 ! I have returned (mostly to Crete) many, many times since. I hope to be on a Greek island again in 2025. Another great video, Tiffany. Keep it up.
I hope you can as well! Thank you!
Thank you for wetting my appetite. I shall be there in 6 weeks travelling on the same ferry as you did. Look forward to the next episode.
You’re welcome! Enjoy your trip!!
Great vlog have been to Naxos many times over the years and it still remains my favourite 🇬🇷island 🍻
Mine too! I never get tired of being there.
Yay I love Naxos too! Thanks for the fresh and breezy video, I needed a little lift too. 🤗
Thank you!
That part (3:49)its my favourite part of the trip, ive done it,a thousand times,since childhood, till now that im a grown man and i never get tired of it..dont you just love it Tiffany?
Getting on the ferry is always exciting! Its the beginning of an adventure.
sorry to hear you have been down. hope the escape to beautiful naxos lifted your spirits - just watching definitely lifted mine!
Thank you! I am so happy to hear that.
OMG, I am so excited. Greece will the the last destination on my eight week European holiday from Australia (starting five weeks from today).We arrive in Athens on September 19 for seven nights. Then to Naxos for seven nights. Then Paros (Naousa) for six nights. Then back to Athens for another three nights. I am hoping it will be relaxing, informative and exciting all rolled up in one package.Thank you so much for all your content over the last year or so as it has been valuable information that probably would have saved us much disappointment and stress. Keep up the great work, and enjoy the rest of your island hopping. All the best, Mark.
Sounds like an amazing trip!! I am so happy to hear that you have found my videos helpful. Have a great time.
Love your video. Just came back from Naxos a month ago. Absolutely spectacular. First time in Greece and after spending a few days outside of Athens , Naxos was more beautiful than the pictures or videos on line. So glad we chose Naxos over Paros. We stayed close to agios Georgios beach. Didn’t have a bad meal anywhere. Took a full day tour of the island with the Naxos bus transfer company and highly recommend it. Didn’t rent a car and walked everywhere. I miss it
I am so happy to hear that you loved it too. I agree it is so beautiful. The food never disappoints!
so nice to even just see the inside of the ferry again 😊
I always wonder if I should film inside the ferry or not. They are all so similar so I am never sure if people would be interested or not.
I absolutely loved Naxos when I visited back in 2022 also! I’m pretty positive I saw you when I was grabbing a Covid test from the pharmacy back when restrictions were super tight. Hope you’re well ❤
So glad you loved it too. What month were you there?
@@agirlandherpassport best island experience I’ve had so far! I was there at the end of August, early September of 2021, not 2022. Typo 😅
@imsolehood I was definitely there then so it is possible.
Absolutely loved the video. We go to Naxos every year. We eat regularly in the Oasis and every morning walk into the harbour and have coffee and cake in Kitron. Manolos restaurant on St George's beach is worth going to for lunch and in the evening also - great food and beautiful views. We are looking forward to our trip there in late August. Enjoy your island hop.
Thank you! I will probably go again in the fall. I like it when it’s quiet with no beach umbrellas.
Oasis and Kitron are also 2 of our favourite spots in Naxos.
Naxos is fantastic! Great video! Wish we could get to Greece this summer.
Thank you! Hopefully next year!
You are lovely and I love your videos. Im from Serbia, I discovered you when I went to Athens for the first time 4 months ago. Watching your videos ever since. Much love , visit Belgrade, we are relatively close :)
Thank you!!
Relaxing video!
Thank you!
I like Naxos a lot. It is nice to live in Athens, and be able to take a ferry somewhere, any time you want.
It is a definitely a great perk!
My wife and I LOVED Naxos! Such a beautiful sweet island! You also went to Kitron I see!! One of our favorite spots especially the little couch seats by the entrance (if not occupied)!! The island is actually sooo huge that there's still so many spots I'd love to visit!
It’s my favorite island! I go to Kitron so much they know me even after being gone for so long.
@@agirlandherpassport Haha so nice!!! Definitely on our top islands list!!
Thank you. Another Greek Island to add to my next trip.
Definitely worth a trip!
Lived on Naxos for 4 years , left in 2020 the island has changed so much, but I still return every October for a month or two ..
It has changed a lot since I started going. Some of it good but it is very busy now.
Thank you for helping the cats!
I love doing it. They are friendly despite being strays so I got to pet them lots.
Naxos on my bucket list.
I highly recommend it!
I'm a bit biased because I'm from there, but you should totally visit Crete if you find the time! For the first time I'd recommend going to Chania and after exploring the city, rent a car and go to the Southern beaches as well. But check the routes on streetview beforehand, because some roads are super narrow, very high up on the side of a mountain, but still go both ways😂 Take care!!
It is on the list!!
Hahaha😅😅😅😅 you are like great napoleòn with that hat....😅
I'm starting to think of ending my upcoming fall-season Italy trip with a jaunt over to Greece, with the idea of hitting some of the islands in the south. What is the weather like in the islands during the late October/early November timeframe? TYVM in advance!
BTW, I also watched your LHR Layover video and definitely agree you need a minimum 3 hours layover if you're transferring. In a comment over there, I stated my conviction that LHR **had** to have been designed by M. C. Escher.
It will be variable. I have had it be warm enough to swim and some years its been cool and rainy. This might help, th-cam.com/video/xyf-aU6YkWw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yZqZqhY0hc4PXIPg
Definitely designed by M.C. Escher as is the Frankfurt airport!! Total maze.
Definitely not that hot but manageable. Air temperature and sea water starts cooling off especially when sun rises. Way less crowds, cheaper and lot quiter. The more south (Crete, Rhodes) the warmer.
or at least where you recommend we stay or eat
Last minute decisions and trips ... this sounds like you are becoming one of us. Hooray! In case you are still hopping around the Cyclades, have loads of fun! By the way I am still confused by the color of your eyes... Are they blue or green?
Oh for sure! I am enjoying this unplanned trip a lot. They are blue green. Depends on the light. Officially green.
@@agirlandherpassport Ah finally the mystery is solved! They are exquisite to look at in any case.
Thank you!
I will be in Naxos in October
Excellent time to be there. It will be beautifully quiet.
I have a party of seven going to Athens and Mykonos in October. Is there anyway you can help me with transport advice from the airport to our first destination, then to the ferry then from Mykonos to our second destination and to the airport to leave I do appreciate your videos videos and they make my trip look easier
I always use Welcome Pickups for airport transfers. They can also assist with transport to the port and in Mykonos. www.welcomepickups.com/airport-transfer-book/?tap_a=26297-438366&tap_s=2082833-652438
Thanks so much
I remember you went to Syros for Pascha last year. What were your thoughts on Syros? I love that island, but it is very busy
I love Syros. It has all the best things of and island and a city.
@@agirlandherpassport yeah, I think that's where I'm eventually going to end up for the summers and a portion of the year.
I think it’s a great choice.
Where did you stay? Considering a solo trip myself
This is where I stayed this time, www.booking.com/hotel/gr/galazia-studios.xu.html?aid=1361192&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2&label=YT-comment but I also like this place, www.booking.com/hotel/gr/alpha-studios-issiii.xu.html?aid=1361192&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2&label=YT-comment
What happens with your suitcase when you’re on the ships
You can put it in the suitcase hold. They will tell you were to put it. Then you go pick it up before you exit the ship.
I've seen there is a big push against tourism in Athens now, both from the government and the locals. This is concerning to me, because I have a trip planned there in a few months. Do I need to be worried?
Not really a big push. They are really just trying to solve the Airbnb problem.
I hope you’re much better now?
Are the Cyclades general windy this time of the year?
Yes, thank you. Yes they are very windy in July and August but it keeps the heat down.
@@agirlandherpassport thanks
Take care
@kyriakoskaplanis5227 You’re welcome!
@@agirlandherpassport no problem
Are the ferry crossing ok?
I am thinking next year to go to Kythnos island apparently it’s 1.45 minutes from Lavrio but I am worry about not to be sea sick
I believe September time the Cyclades are not as windy so hopefully the sea should be ok
How did you find the ferry crossings and any tips please?
@kyriakoskaplanis5227 September is usually better. Take a big slow ferry as they are more stable. Sit in the middle of the ship and if you get sick go outside and look at the horizon. 😊
I noticed that you seem to be a bit down lately. What's up?
Btw, you look better in this video (compared to the previous ones).
Nothing specific. Just happens. Thanks!
Show some names of hotels or restaurants please
There will be a few more in the next video. And I have a whole article about where to eat. agirlandherpassport.com/best-restaurants-in-naxos/ It needs updating but I will be doing that soon! 😊
I'm sorry, I want to donate to feed the kitties but can't find the link. My husband is greek and when we visit his family, the first thing I do is load up on cat food and start feeding the cats I see!!
I forgot! Thank you for reminding me. I am adding it now, but here it is. www.naws.gr/donate/how-you-can-donate
🙏😊 However, I still prefer ATHENS 😂
Of course! 😊😊
Thanks for your videos. Please tell your subscribers about the roach problem in Athens. All the streets are infested with roaches. :( Thanks
I rarely see any. But it might be bad this year because of the increased heat.
@@agirlandherpassport really? This means you are very lucky, and I hope this will be the case for you for the entire summer. 🤞🤞🌼🌼 I rented some apartments in Kallithea, Piraeus, Victoria and Agia Varvara on Airbnb. Yet, all of them had the problem of roach. That was so scary and inconvenient :( Thanks for your reply 🙏🙏
@@agirlandherpassport By the way, in which neighbourhood are you living, if you don't mind me asking?
Sorry to hear that. I have only ever had one in my apartment and it came through the drain. My building sprays regularly though.
I live in Koukaki.
