When we arrived on the ferry to Naxos we were immediately greeted by our friendly host, Tasia, who gave us a lift back to the studios where she introduced us to her daughter Ekaterini, who speaks English well.

We were shown our room; which was bigger than we expected, as we were given a free upgrade due to the low occupancy that week. Everything was in order and we were offered cake and coffee as we settled in.

During our stay our studio was cleaned during the day when we went out and fresh towels and bed linen were provided.

The location is a bit of a walk from the main village of Prokopios (beach), but we don't mind walking and there are two routes: a) you can walk down the main road past the supermarket and restaurants etc... (15-20 min), or you can walk down a dusty pathway, past a small farm with chickens, turkeys, goats and cats. This takes you across the salt lakes, which are a bit smelly (naturally) to the beach (10min) and this is the way we walked most of the time.

Unfortunately I had to do a bit of work while we were there and although there is free wifi, it is not very stable, and drops out a lot. This was a bit of a pain. I wish I didn't have to work on holiday, but when I did I found it hard and had to keep moving around the studio to get and maintain a wifi signal. This is the only place where I saw room for improvement and it could be easily fixed with a booster router, or something I think.

On our departure we were offered a lift back to the ferry, which was really nice.

I would definitely stay at Studios Tasia again and I look forward to seeing our hosts next time.
