When you read stellar reviews, you have high hopes but also wonder if people are over-exaggerating. With Mrs. Filippa and Mr. Nick, as well as Manolis who communicated with us in English, the reviews do not capture how wonderful it is to stay at their place. The apartment is welcoming and spacious, with absolutely everything you need. It’s in a fantastic location—100 steps to the beach (though 111 by the 11-year old’s count 😉), and a similar number to restaurants and markets; the Naxos town center is a few minutes away and the port an easy 10 minute walk. But what really makes the place are the hosts — they greet you with snacks(!), and then make sure you have anything and everything you need throughout your stay, even things you didn’t know you needed (including bringing us water to wash the sand off our feet and then finding the bottles refilled in the morning because, according to the child, “they are amazing”). Simply put, if you’re traveling to Naxos, stay here!
