Δανάη’s home is GORGEOUS! The listing photos are good, but it’s hard to impress the beauty of the home and property without seeing it for yourself. There are 4 bedrooms (3 have queen size beds, one twin), each of which has access to a veranda. The kitchen is quite large, with ample cookware and fresh fruit picked from their garden (we had a gigantic bowl of delicious apricots picked fresh from the tree outside the front door, as well as some bread and local jam). There is a large open living room with tons of comfortable seating space, and a study with a large desk. There are three bathrooms, one of which is legit a magical mermaid palace. There are multiple wrap around balconies and a roof with 360 views of the beautiful countryside, including their sprawling garden.
It’s about an 8 min drive into Naxos town, but honestly the town was just fine compared to the natural beauty of the rest of the island. Staying a bit outside the town means easy access to the port and touristy area, but you can also avoid the city traffic when you go exploring around the beaches, hikes, and ancient ruins (we went to little Alyko beach which was AWE INSPIRING, hiked Mount Zas which has a sick cave and is the highest summit in the Cyclades, and checked out the amazing ruins of the temple of Demeter – all highly recommended!). Δανάη was lovely and easy to reach if we needed her. She also had some great recommendations!
Stay here when you’re in Naxos – you will not regret it!!
