Where do I begin!
Vasilis and his family showered us with genuine hospitality from the very first time that we arrived at the house and right up until the moment that we left. During our one and a half month stay, Vasilis made himself EXTREMELY accessible the entire time by answering any questions that I may have had and communicating with me regarding any other details that pertained to the house. The entire family is very warm, kind and generous. They brought us cakes, jam, fruits, traditional Greek food and more!
The house is very very clean. It had everything that we needed. There was no need to pack anything extra! In addition, the house is equipped with much needed air conditioning for the hot summer months. Also, it is located in a prime location amidst the traditional narrow alleyways. In a matter of a few minutes, we walked to the port, stores and restaurants. I preferred not to rent a car due to possibly having to deal with the possibility of not being able to find a parking space during the busy period that we were there. Tickets for the bus can be purchased at the port. The bus stop at the port is a 4-5 minute walk from the house. The bus is super efficient during the summer months. It departs for the mountains and other beaches regularly. Adjacent to the bus depot, you can book tours and rent cars. Walking from the house 10 minutes in the opposite direction of the port, is Cinema Naxos. We walked their multiple times. We also walked to the beach nearby. What I loved most about the house is that it is safe, in a traditional neighborhood, has outside space and is situated in a prime location. My children (13 and 14) were able to walk around alone, meet their new Greek friends at the port, get food, go to the beach and much more and I did not worry. I will miss playing Uno on the rooftop under a starry night with my children and interacting with the neighbors.
I recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a comfortable house that takes you back in time and is located in a prime location!
My children and I will NEVER forget our amazing stay in Greece. We want to extend our gratitude towards Vasilis and his family for making our stay that much more special in their cozy home and contributing to the memories of Greece that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives!
