My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Naxos. This property was centrally located, and allowed us to walk to many things locally around the area. Lots of good restaurants, coffee shops (Barcode was our go to), and other local businesses to check out. It’s also pretty close to the port (15 min walk) if you’re getting off the ship, and not too far from the local airport. Be prepared, there are a couple flights of stairs to get up to the property, and some inclines/stairs to get around the around if that’s your plan (Roads aren’t very smooth, so lugging luggage around isn’t a super easy task). I was 6 months pregnant and managed to get around the area to all the local places we wanted to visit. That might give you an idea of how doable it is, but honestly a little tiring if you’re not up for it.
My only complaint would be how thin the the walls are, we could near the neighbors multiple kids downstairs and baby pretty late into the evening. It never bothered us too much, but just a heads up.
Although the property would’ve been a bit tricky to find, we were met in person, and walked directly to our Airbnb. Which made the whole situation very worry free.
The views from the balcony are truly beautiful, and we enjoyed many evenings there watching the sunset and even star gazing.
If you’re adventurous I’d suggest trying windsurfing at the nearby bay if weather allows. We watched people for a few days from the balcony, and it looked fun. Harder than it looks, but fun to try.
