After traveling around Europe for 2 months as a family of 4 and staying mostly at AirBnB homes, we were fortunate enough to find Villa Aphrodite to enjoy as one of our last stops. Athina and Takis have built four beautiful villas on the wonderful island of Naxos. Each bedroom was perfectly appointed with comfortable beds, duvets and ensuite bathrooms. There are decks on every level providing outdoor eating spaces or a place to watch the sunset with a glass of wine.
While many properties take liberty with distances, the villa is actually closer than 250m to the beach as advertised. For us, being just off the main beach road was perfect as we still had a great view from the deck but avoided the more busy street.
While the villa was spectacular, I must say that Takis and Athina were equally wonderful as hosts. From the initial surprise of meeting us at the ferry to the ongoing communication, we felt that we were dealing with friends or family throughout. In fact, our son had his 12th birthday while we were at the villa and Takis and Athina came over with a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to him in Greek!
We hope to come back to Naxos again down the road and will certainly stay with Athina and Takis again if we do.
