New York Times Journalist Jennifer Gilmore has included the Greek island of Naxos in her column of “favorite places” and gives her readers an article that has it all: the Greek sun, gastronomy, picturesque villages, beaches, the country’s economic situation and even a reference to the Parthenon marbles.

The journalist’s love for the island is obvious in the article entitled Peeling Back the Layers of Naxos, Greece.

“At dusk we walked up a path along the stream that stitches together Pano Potamia and Kato Potamia, two villages in the most fertile part of Naxos, the Greek island. While most of the other Cycladic islands are as dry as toast, Naxos is covered in verdant valleys and mountain villages, clusters of whitewashed houses nestled into a Bruegel-like landscape,” Ms. Gilmore mentions at the start of her article.
