Temple of Apollo/ Naxos Arrival





For my historical sites class we visited a island in the Cyclades called Naxos for a weekend. I LOVED the island. It was very touristy, so they had a TON of different restaurants and shops. We ate at one of the only Mexican restaurants I've seen since I've been here. It was pretty decent. Aside from the restaurants, when we first arrived you could see what remains from the temple of Apollo. It was quite the site. Only the door and a few ruins remain but it's placed on the hilltop overlooking the sea and it's surrounded by wildflowers of all sorts of colors. It was beautiful!!!!
We also visited a small museum in the town. It had some pretty cool things like ancient spear heads, war masks, different sculptures, and a bunch of vases.
