Our stay was perfect. Naxos is just so charming, and Pyrgaki is the best beach on the island with golden sand and crystal clear water, which is calm but has some fun waves for the kids when a ship passes every once in a while. It’s not crowded at all, and there’s also a cliff jumping spot right next door.
The house was impeccably remodeled and very comfortable for our family of 4. You feel like you’re on top of the beach, and it has a beautiful sunset view.
The location was great for us, but may be remote for some. There are a couple good restaurants nearby. It’s a 30 min drive to Naxos town. We also visited some villages and went beach hopping around the island. There is a bus service, but I recommend renting a car.
The one thing we didn’t get to do was eat at the acclaimed Taverna Axiotissa. You need to make a reservation weeks ahead for July/August apparently. But other than that, our stay couldn’t have been better!
