Just got back from staying over a week at Maria's place. I stayed with my friend over Easter and had a great time. The apartment is situated close to the beach. It's a quiet area and we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves because the season hadn't quite started yet.
The apartment has everything you'd wish for, the view of the beach is lovely. It was great to sit on the balcony and watch the sun go down in the evening.
The apartment is cleaned everyday and is spotless. We were left wine and cake which was a lovely touch and we were picked up and returned to the ferry point.
We used the bikes everyday, cycling into Naxos town takes around 30 minutes.
Maria will organise a car for you for around 20 euros a day. We hired one for 2 days and visited some of the villages.
The apartment would be suited to a couple or a family. It's a very safe area.
Don't forget to visit Santana's bar. Just turn right at the beach and it's a two minute walk from there. A great place to hang out for couples or families, another great place to watch the sun go down.
There are 3 super markets within walking distance. The best one is the just a 5 minute walk to the left up the hill, it's especially good for fruit and veg.
Maria and her family live next door and were on hand whenever we needed them.
All in all a great find.
