This was the best of an Airbnb and 4 star luxury resort combined. From the start, everything was so easy: Athena arranged a rental car that was waiting at the airport, 10 minute drive to the villa, where Athena warmly greeted us at the property. The accommodations were beyond expectations: beautiful decor and landscaping, super clean (housekeepers come daily), lots of space to spread out with a big group, and every kitchen tool necessary to make it feel like home. Athena and Takis are so kind and welcoming and arranged every detail from ordering meals, making dinner reservations for 4 families, massage appointments and encouraging us NOT to take a sailing trip when the winds were too rough. The island of Naxos offered everything our family desired: stunning Plaka beach, hiking Mt Zas (super challenging), and the adorable little towns and villages throughout. Best of all, it did not feel touristy! We plan to return to Naxos many more times and feel like we now have friends with Athena and Takis!
