This was such a dream of an AirBNB.
First of all, the location was FABULOUS. Walking distance from everything Naxos town, including the historic Castro. So many delicious restaurants and bars with outstanding views just a few minutes walk away, yet the apt itself was quiet and peaceful. A beautiful oasis.
Antonia met us at the port and walked us to the Airbnb. She showed us everything, including the washing machine which was super exciting to us!
She put in so many personal touches such a carafe of wine, eggs FROM HER OWN CHICKENS, and pomegranates FROM HER OWN TREE for us to eat. She sent us a list of awesome stuff to do in Naxos as well. (I don’t know if she always has eggs or pomegranates available - so I don’t want to set expectations for them all the time - but cite them as examples of wonderful personal touches!)
Everything was clean and bright and wonderful.
There is a parking lot that is super close, and we could easily get anywhere we wanted in Naxos from there.
At the end of our stay, Antonia came to say goodbye and even brought us a parting gift.
She is a true superstar! This is the perfect place for a Naxian vacation.
(We also has three people staying and we all comfortably fit!:-))
Also - we had a relatively negative experience with an Airbnb in Milos, where we learned hot water and electricity are not always reliable on the Greek islands. It was so refreshing to be with Antonia where the hot water was abundant and reliable and the electricity stayed on.
If I visit Naxos again, I would DEFINITELY stay with Antonia again and will recommend her to all my friends!:-)
Thank you Antonia for a great stay!:-)
