I'm Jessica!

Who am I? I’m not a digital nomad or backpacker. I have a demanding full-time career but still find ways to fit in tons of travel. I believe that sometimes you save and sometimes you splurge, and I’ll help you figure out how to have the best experiences regardless. My goal is to go everywhere, see everything, eat all the pastries, and soak up as much food, wine, culture, and amazing views as I can in this crazy life!

In Naxos you find an entirely different type of Gr In Naxos you find an entirely different type of Greek island hopping experience than the whitewashed buildings, blue domes, & crowds of Santorini. And it's best explored via roadtrip!

So here's a deep-dive guide to the best of Naxos, from the ruins of ancient temples and Byzantine churches, to charming mountain villages, and sparkling turquoise waters to olive groves and bucolic goat farms. You'll find that Naxos is a lovely, less-crowded, more affordable hidden gem vs. its famous sisters of Santorini and Mykonos, and absolutely deserves a spot on any Greek island hopping itinerary!
