He makes corny jokes constantly with a dead pan face. It keeps the tour lighthearted as he teaches us about the history and land of Naxos. The tour takes you to a number of places on the island with just enough time to enjoy. The villages were nice to see. Swimming in the Aegean Sea near Apollonas was refreshing. I wish there was more time for that.”
