We came here in late-June to climb Mt Zas but in retrospect would have been better off staying in Naxos Town and taking the bus to Filoti for the hike as there is much more to do in Naxos Town than in Filoti.
As for the apartment itself, here are what we considered the pros and cons:
Pros:
* Spacious and comfy
* Lots of natural light
* Very good WiFi
* Great hot water
* Clothes washer
* Despoina was very helpful and met us at the bus stop. This was essential as the apartment would be impossible to find without a guide. She then showed us around the apartment and explained how things work. She also showed us around the town and told us the best places to eat and visit. She is very helpful and easy to communicate with.
* Kitchen is well equipped and Despoina left us some tasty treats
Cons:
* Many many steps to get up to the apartment from the main road. If you have heavy suitcases or a lot of luggage you might want to bear that in mind.
* No air conditioning so we suspect it will be rather hot in July and August.
