Naxos island: A wall with a story to tell!
During our visit to the island of Νaxos and as we drive towards the picturesque village of Apiranthos, we are willing to see if the rumors about a wall that can “speak” are true… The “Wall of Smaro” (Smaro being a female name) consists of a place for visitors of the island to write down their thoughts and impressions. The wall is attracting the visitor’s attention who can make a note of whatever they wish to say and make it available for others to read. Poems, dedications, opinions or a simple drawing, name signatures and a date…whatever springs to mind at that given point will stay on the wall forever. Passing by the wall, we spend some time and read what others have written in the past using a black felt-tip pen. The wall is actually “speaking” to us as we read with immense interest. You will find the wall at "Smaro’s mini market" situated at the main square of the village (Platsa).
Why not leave your own mark too? Or possibly reply to an ongoing conversation that somebody initiated at some point in the past…Mrs. Smaro, the owner of the mini market, will happily lend you her black felt-tip pen.
The whole thing with the once white wall, begun with a couple who was in love as Mrs. Smaro explains. Fokos and Vivi first wrote on the wall when they came in Νaxos for a holiday as a couple. They then returned to Apiranthos village after they got married on Skiathos island and wrote about the happy event of their life on the wall, promising they will return again after they have had their first child!
You might even have some little time available to fit your own note on the wall…
You see…there is not much space left!
