I had breakfast in my room (yoghurt and a ham sandwich) and then had a quick shower. The shower is tiny - barely 2' x 2' - so I had to leave the door open to provide for the full range of movement required to actually clean myself. Greek baths are often a contortionist's dream.
After my morning ablutions, I walked - well, more like hobbled - to the port. I wasn't sure how far I would be able to go, but I was hoping to see a bit of the Old Market Street. I managed to walk a portion of the street. Unfortunately, most of the shops were still closed for the season.
I exited the Old Market Street and decided to have lunch at one of the restaurants at the port. I was looking for Meze Meze, a restaurant that I visited on two previous trips to Naxos, when I noticed Cindy and Sandy in Pikantiko Grill House. I stopped to say hello, and less than five minutes later Joe showed up. He had just helped Corinna carry her luggage to the port.
At Meze Meze, I ordered Naxian fried potatoes and grilled squid. It was alright. A couple of pieces of the squid were overcooked and chewy, and I found it oversalted, but it hit the spot and it was more food than I could eat by myself.
The walk back to the hotel was better than I expected. My legs felt looser and my back wasn't as stiff. I spent the rest of the afternoon swimming in the pool and chatting with Cindy and Sandy.
