All I can say was this was the biggest value in the Aegean Sea. And what a fun island for this special boutique hotel to be located upon: Naxos! Stavros’ mom, Sandy, is there on site when you have any questions. She keeps a tight ship as this tiny hotel was the cleanest we had ever seen. Everything was white and you couldn’t find one scuff mark or dirt anywhere. This place is down the street from a tiny grocery store at the end of the block, and the best Bakery on the corner - just a few blocks down. Passed the bakery is an entire strip of restaurants and cafes - maybe 20 restaurants. There is a book store on that strip, but in between two builds up five stairs, that also sells sterling silver jewelry for extremely reasonable prices. The hotel is just at the other end of the strip from the port. Super easy walk if you don’t have a ton of luggage. If you do, just be young and in shape. The location of the hotel made it easy to island hop from the ferry port so we didn’t have to lug everything everyday. We rented a car down the street from the Airbnb to drive in the mountains of Naxos. We stopped at this famous custard pie place in Halki and this amazing restaurant a town over called Mantina where they don’t speak English. We saw statues and temples and an abandoned hotel. And at the end of the day, Sandy was there to greet us with freshly made beds and linen and Greek pastries!!!! And cheese! And tomatoes!
They’re about to upgrade the showers. In fact, we were their last guests of the 2021 season. The day after we left, we were told the renovations are starting. So please ignore any and all reviews about the small showers. Plus, the old showers weren’t that bad because they were so clean.
The only thing I’ll say is if you love a nice Greek family there with you ever step of the way, the lowest prices in the Aegean Sea, and can handle a three minute walk into town and a three minute walk to the beach - book this place!
