There is a real calmness to this place and a sense of another time, from the brass light fixtures, the sit-down shower and the visiting cat who curled up like an old friend in my clothes, to the weathered shutters and the man with kind eyes and a heart of stories. Savvas' place has a quality you will not find elsewhere, the character of the man has seeped into the building itself. We were greeted so warmly that we felt at home, truly welcome. Savvas saved us from a tight spot - we had booked into a bad place and needed to move at short notice - he waited at the port for us and guided us back like an angel. Savvas, we are truly so grateful for the kindness you showed us in Naxos, and for offering us a place in your world which looks beautiful with the ever welcome answer, 'don't worry, be happy'. Stay in this sleepy and transportive home, seep into the past and the calm and don't forget to call Savvas ten minutes before you will be at the port. With love from England, Thalia and Raphy - you make us smile!
