Staying at the Galazia Studios was like being hosted by family. They were so kind and helpful when I needed it the most.
During my stay I became ill and it was heartwarming when the owner Sofia came to the hospital to see if I was ok and if I needed anything as I was traveling alone.
The day after, it was St. John-Baptist Day and there was a fiesta in their small village (Agkidia) close to the city of Naxos. They brought me and another guest to the village so we can experience their local culture. Sofia even made a stop to show us her farm and beautiful field full of delicious fruits at sunset. It was amazing! Sofia also taught me how to dance in their traditional way, and we watched as the children jumped over the bonfire that was set up in the village centre.
My experience at the studios was wonderful, the room was clean and well maintained. The A/C was very welcoming as the temperature rose above 35C. The location was absolutely perfect! Two small blocks from the beach which is known to be the best one in Europe for families. The grocery store was a block away and there are a lot of choices of restaurants and things to do on the island.
If you go there, make sure you see the temple of Apollo at sunset and take a bus tour to visit the island and more specifically the Temple of Demeter, it's absolutely magical. Naxos was my favorite island in the Cyclades.
