Exploring Naxos as a place to live!

My husband and I moved from New York City to Greece last April and are looking for a place to settle and call home. I am acting as our scout and am arriving in Naxos on Friday. We are retired, so not looking for work, but are interested in you, those who have moved to Naxos, possible villages to live in, how summer tourism impacts your lives, the extent of winter life in Naxos, how your experiences have been in blending in with the local culture, etc. 

We already have our bureaucratic world figured out, I lived in Greece from 1990-1996 and get by speaking Greek, and my husband and I have traveled in Greece a lot, so we aren’t newbies to the culture. 

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and we hope to meet some of you!

Best, Sydney
