If you are going on holiday to Naxos, do not get a hotel. Stay here. It’s close to everything and a good value. Milka and Yannis are excellent hosts. Yannis was waiting at the port of Naxos with a “Studios Panos” sign, waiting to transfer anyone disembarking the ferry to go to the studio. Milka was there to welcome us when we arrived and gave us an overview of the map, answering our questions about the area. Their attentiveness made trip logistics seamless. The little touches made the studio feel like home. For example, because my husband and I were on our honeymoon, Milka left a bottle of local wine in our fridge and offered us more. When my husband decided to be adventurous and eat rooster at a restaurant in Arapantos, he had a terrible stomachache. Milka helped me obtain some aspirin and even offered to take him to the hospital. (He was trying to be adventurous like Anthony Bourdain and recovered after some sleep and a bruised ego.) The studios are comfortable for a single, double, or family stay. We stayed four nights and found the kitchenettes and fridge to be suitable, but we also ate out frequently. We wanted to be connected to WiFi and found it to be good signal quality (maybe because it didn’t rain during our stay and was not cloudy). The rooftop sun terrace gives you a spectacular view of the ocean—an excellent place for sundowners. Laundry is only ten Euros for a bag; alternatively, you can go to the laudromat on the next block to do your laundry yourself (same price for a load to wash and dry). Milka’s English is impeccable and we had no problem communicating exclusively in English with the locals on the island. The studio is situated just behind the beachfront hotels so you can go and come from the beach any time you want. Shops, cafes, bakeries, convenience stores, bars, and pharmacies surround it so, if you forgot anything at home, you can buy reasonably priced provisions there. The area has a small-town feel as many of the shopkeepers and restaurant owners remembered us and greeted us when we passed. Naxos turns into a lively place for bar hopping at night. Observe your siesta (try the beach for an average of 7-9 Euros all day under a pair of beach umbrellas with an adjoining table) so you have energy to go out at night. We felt completely safe and comfortable walking around the town in the middle of the night. We saw families walking along the peer in the late evening and at night. We were there during the beginning of the tourist season (late May/early June) so the beach was not crowded and it was easy to book day trips to explore inland by bus and adjoining islands by sea. The port is within walking distance from the studio but Yannis gave us transfers to the port. Confirm your departure with Milka the day before you...
