A beautiful home, perfect for our family of four with very lovely, thoughtful hosts! Maria's father George was on hand for whatever we needed. He lives in the apartment below and was very helpful with advice on what to see and where to go and seemed so happy to have us there. We were treated like family and our trip would not have been the same without him! One of the kindest, most generous and enthusastic hosts I have ever encountered. We were sad to leave!
The apartment was spacious and very clean. They take pride in their home and it shows in the details. The balcony is amazing and huge, there was lots of room for our kids (aged 5 and 2) to play both indoors and out when we were at the house and many kitchen amenities were conveniently provided. The location is the best. A few minutes walking to everything you will want to see in Chora, and central to many of the sights of Naxos that you can visit by car. The airport and ferry port are both very close. The apartment is very family friendly and the neighborhood felt extremely safe. Everything you need is close by. The people of Naxos (and of the Greek islands in general) were always eager to help when needed and very welcoming of us and our children.
I would recommend renting a car to explore farther as the island has so much to offer! We visited some absolutely stunning beaches during our stay, that were only a 15-20 minute drive (taxis will also take you there) and went on some longer drives to see sites and visit different areas along the coast. The town of Chora is very lively though, you will NOT need a car to get to the amazing restaurants, bakeries and cafes (so delicious!!!!) and trendy shops that are only steps away from the apartment, along with St. George beach. It really is perfectly located for exploring all of Naxos.
Travelling around Greece has given me a whole new perspective on what it can mean to be an Airbnb host. We continue to be welcomed by some of the most hospitable people I have ever met, and George, Nikos and Maria were no exception. We have only good things to say about our holiday, and we highly recommend staying here!
