I highly recommend staying at Red Sunset for a few reasons.
First, the views. The pictures on the listing do not do the views justice. You have idyllic views of Naxos town (Chora), the country side, the beach and mountains from the bedroom and living room balconies and from the patio. We had breakfast on the bedroom balcony every morning, taking in the morning air, and watched the sunset from the patio every evening.
Second, the apartment. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and a washer for our clothes. It is perfect for a couple, however, as the couch turns into a bed, I can see a small family fitting in as well.
Third, the people. The Airbnb is managed by Aegean Breeze. The staff were professional, very kind, and knowledgeable. Fotini gave us a quick and informative briefing on the island over much-needed cold water, and Kostas drove us to our Airbnb and made sure we were situated. For example, the apartment didn’t have laundry detergent at first and within a couple of hours, we had it at our door.
Importantly, the family who owns the house lives downstairs and are really wonderful hosts. They respected our privacy, but also checked in regularly to ensure we were enjoying everything and to ask if we needed anything. Nick surprised us with local Naxos products almost every day - watermelon, homemade marmalade, eggs, kitron. Dimitris shared with us great tips on where to eat and a beach to go to. Overall, they are really lovely people.
Fourth, the location. The apartment is a <10 minute drive to Naxos town (Chora) and a 20 minute drive from the best beaches, which made it a convenient home base to explore mountain villages, do hiking, go to the beach, check out ancient ruins, and go out in Naxos town for dinner and drinks.
Naxos has lots to offer, and so we plan to return and stay at Red Sunset again!
