Snow on Naxos mountains photo by ΜΑΝΩΛΗΣ ΡΟΥΣΣΟΣ

Snow-covered mountains on Naxos are seen from Marpissa village on nearby Paros island today, in this photo posted on Facebook by  ΜΑΝΩΛΗΣ ΡΟΥΣΣΟΣ. The picture has been shared in numerous New Year’s greetings on social media by people on both islands, many of whom describe it as a view of the “Naxian Alps.” Naxos, Paros and several other Greek islands  experienced snowflurries as storms swept across Greece on New Year’s Eve (see my post Snowfalls & cold temps bring Greece’s 2015 to a turbulent close for photos of winter scenes in Greece yesterday.)

Here’s another view of the snowy Naxos mountains, this time seen in a telephoto image shot from Amorgos island.  It’s one of several photos that the Amorgos News website published of the Naxos mountains dressed in white. Click here to see the other images.
