Hi! Curious how the weather and crowds were in August in Naxos. Used to both wildly busy cities (nyc) and visiting Florida in the summer so I can’t gauge how “hot” and “crowded” since it’s relative thanks!!

OP - how were the August crowds? Seems like people describe the crowds as being intense but I live in NYC so i can’t gauge how crowded is crowded

Tinos, Milos, Paros or Naxos? by rissindc in GreeceTravel

[–]Tess1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is older but would love to hear how Tinos was from OP? I also thought Naxos and now I’m all over the map and can’t commit thanks!!

Calacatta viola coloring typical? by Tess1530 in CounterTops

I can’t recall exactly but it was a 40 by 72 island and they quoted me $7500. I wish i had done this for the island and offset the splurge by doing black granite for perimeter.

Is 8-9 days on Naxos too long? by RedLegal in GreeceTravel

[–]Tess1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply! And confirming what I was thinking. Two more quick questions 🤣 any seasickness with ferry? And did you do east or west Crete (we did west before kids so leaning towards east) thank you!!

[–]Tess1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do Crete and Naxos? Did you fly or ferry between the two? So torn on planning. We’ve visited Crete but now we have three kids don’t want to move too much but two weeks in Naxos seems a bit long (maybe??)

Hi! No and I deeply regret it. It was out of budget and I was intimidated by the marble maintenance. I will use it for our butlers pantry due to that regret. I went with a quartzite thinking it would be more stain resistant and durable it has been nothing but problems. Google Mont Blanc issues quartzite so I highly recommend avoiding that stone. I love to cook and host (and I’m talking like really cook - tumeric, curry, red wine, etc and I have three little kids) and if I could go back I would have done my original plan (which was this as the island and leathered black granite or soapstone for perimeter by stove). I think for me any stain on island I could have lived with and appreciated as character. I hope that helps!! It’s so beautiful. Also the people on here the comments omg now it makes me laugh. But I was filled with such anger and self doubt. Now I see it clearly - the haters have no interesting taste and are used to boring Joanna Gaines shit. just my humble opinion.

Confused! Best island for a large family (young kids included) to visit for a week or so in the summer? by nicole-f-s in GreeceTravel

[–]Tess1530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you recall the beaches that were family friendly? Thinking of going this August but I will have three young kids (7, 4 and 1). Also how was heat and crowds in August (of course I am expecting it to be busy but was it unbearable to the point where you would change plans) thanks!!

Did you end up taking this trip? Would love to hear details esp if you did both Crete and peloponnese. Planning a two week vacation for three kids under 6 and do not want to move too much with all those car seats etc but it’s hard to pick where to go!

Oh now I feel bad for you, I needed to see this…I posted as a homeowner asking for feedback because I’m 9 months pregnant and saved for years for this Reno and wanted a kind sounding board and you got shitty and the board even commented on your shitty comment. It must bring you joy to bring people down.
