Where to begin with Naxian Heart…
After traveling all around the Aegean for nearly 2 weeks, our journey to Naxian heart was the final stop of our vacation. In many ways though, it felt like just the beginning. Nowhere on our journey did we feel the truly authentic Greek experience like we did in Naxos, and staying at the Naxian heart made us feel like it was the home we never had. The space that we stayed in was exactly as described in the listing, if not more exquisite. Adorned with all the trimmings you would expect from a traditional Naxian space, with modern amenities that make you feel like you are never too far from home. Nestled perfectly within Naxos town, meandering the winding streets of restaurants and shops was such a joy. You never felt lost though because, as if it were the North Star, through all the twist and turns we always found our way back to the wonderful Naxian Heart with great ease. In our time there, we dined on wonderful Naxian cuisine, indulged in some of the most breathtaking beaches we’ve ever seen, and made expeditions to wonderful mountainside towns that truly made us forget at times that we were tourists. All in all the space was perfect and then some. But of course, we would be remiss without talking about Antonia….
I have been a customer of Airbnb for almost 9 years, and I can confidently say that Antonia was the best host I’ve had of any listing I have ever booked. She personally greeted us at the apartment to provide us the keys, gave us tons of recommendations of food and experiences in the areas, and provided us fresh and local groceries that were to die for. She even provided us the option for a cleaning service during our stay! Perhaps the best quality she had as a host though was her responsiveness. During our stay, we ran into a little issue where we locked ourselves out. While other hosts could have ignored us and left us to deal with Airbnb themselves, Antonia was there for us and saved us from a potentially concerning situation. I’ve never had anyone so help me in all my travels through Airbnb, and we were so grateful to have Antonia as our host.
All in all, if you are traveling to Naxos, there is no place I would recommend more than Naxian Heart. You will have access to the most Greek experiences ever in the heart of the Cyclades. As well, you will be in great hands with a host who will truly care about your stay be sure that you are as happy as possible.
I don’t know when I will return to Naxos, as we live on the other side of the world, but if and when we do return, I know exactly where I will go first 🌎
