Naxos
Naxos is of mixed-breed, very intelligent, swift of foot, a high jumper, and an accomplished swimmer.
I found him on Easter of 1998 on the island of Naxos, after which he was named, when he was three - four months old. He immediately adopted me.
After that, he came on all of “Faneromeni’s” cruises and continues to travel with me today.
Naxos’ mentor was Argos who indoctrinated him to the nautical arts.
