Best location for a stay in Naxos! Around the corner from the port and central bus station to take you to inner beaches. Lovely taverna, supermarket old town and portara a couple minutes walk away. Public parking close by. It was great to be back in town and walking distance to all the choices of port or old town tavernas after a day at the beach. Sure you have to catch a bus or drive to get to the beach but there are even a couple of swimming spots between the Portara and the house if you want a day off travelling around, with sunset Portara views from your terrace!
We loved Litsa’s house. It was huge and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped which makes travelling with kids easy. Each bedroom had its own ‘wing’ with private bathroom so there is enough room for an extended family to travel. Beds were very comfortable.
Litsa welcomed us at the port, walked us to the room and left supplies like fruit, juice and local condiments, and was always available to help.
If you want to spend all your time on a beach this is not for you, but if you want to experience the culture of Naxos away from the crowds of tourists, but near enough to all things, this is perfect!
The only cons are that the terrace faces the unprotected north so is not suitable for very windy days (we were lucky during our stay that it was not too windy), and that there is no washing machine.
Overall it was a fabulous stay. We wish we could have stayed longer!
