Let me first start off by saying that Mike is a fantastic host. He was always available for communication leading up to our travel dates and helped answer any questions we had in a timely manner. We arranged to rent a car (definitely recommended) and he had someone waiting with our names when we arrived at the port. We actually met the car rental guy before Mike due to seeing our names. We initially thought this guy was Mike until Mike actually came and introduced himself a few minutes later.

Upon arrival Mike led us to a nice local supermarket where we purchased some essentials for cooking. He led us to the house and gave us a tour. He spent a considerable amount of time going over the map and offering recommendations on places to visit. One of the places was a small taverna (~10 minutes driving) from his place. This was one of the best meals we had on the trip. Thank you Mike!

The house in Naxos is about 10-15 minutes from the port. The house itself is set up on a hill a bit which makes it feel very private. The views from the house are stunning and lend themselves to some fantastic pictures of beaches and the surrounding area. The house has a full kitchen and living room that is comfortable.

Just at the base of the hill is a nice little beach. About 100 meters to the right of the place is a nicer, larger beach that has ample parking. We spent most of our time at this beach. It was quiet and had very few people on it. We traveled up to some of the more touristy areas but due to how many people there were and the limited parking access we decided it was way easier to go to "our" local beach. This is just another great feature about Mike's place.

I would definitely return to this location in Naxos. It was a nice private enough spot that was located close to everything we wanted to do. Thanks again for the stay Mike! If you're ever in the PA region and need any recommendations just let me know.
