Food is cheap and portions large enough to share, so you will save there.

Also uber is very cheap and uses regular taxis. Six year olds may not want to walk two miles.

Maybe a hotel with an indoor pool.

Toilet paper is not supposed to be flushed so you will have to explain that to your kids.

The changing of the guard. Do go more than once. I was surprised how much I enjoyed that.

Sorry can’t speak to any part of Greece besides Athens.

What are you talking about? I have never been anywhere in Greece where I couldn't flush toilet paper.

Have to agree with the no toilet paper flushing. We were there over the summer and in a high end resort on the Athens Rivera and an island villa - no tp flushing in either. Same with the restaurants in Athens. Maybe this person just doesn't think the rules apply to them.

Same for us. We went to Santorini, Naxos, and Crete last year, and we had signs everywhere saying do not flush toilet paper. So it's not just "one person's house". There were signs in the hotels, on the ferry, in restaurants. My son commented when there was finally a bathroom that didn't have a sign but he still didn't flush just to be safe.

FWIW, OP - I loved Naxos the most. Perfect mix of small villages up on the mountain and beautiful beaches everywhere.
