We loved our stay at Randy’s villa and didn’t want to leave. Naxos is an amazing island with so much to do, but we spent several days just hanging around the house and visiting near-by beaches because these were our favorite. We especially enjoyed the hidden coves just below, which are actually even prettier than any other beach we saw. The view for the house is out of this world, all the pictures are real and don’t do it justice. Make sure to stay at the house one day to see the sunset - it was even better than at Santorini :) Randy and Maki were extremely welcoming, helping us not only with local information, but also to sort out any challenges (we had a small mix up with picking up our rental car, and Randy got it resolved right away). You definitely need a car to get to places, but it is a good idea on Naxos anyway so you can visit different villages and beaches without depending on buses or tours. We rented a car from Motorpower (recommened by Randy) and we very happy with their service . Just make sure to tell them exactly when and where you need to pick up and drop the car - they will come to you. We eat at several restaurants in town, never had a less than perfect meal. Maki and Randy will tell you all about these places where local eat. We are already planning our next stay at Randy’s place.
