We had a magical time in Naxos full of beach relaxation, bouzouki music at the kastro, stunning vistas, ruins and great food. And to top all of that off, Mairivi and Vasilis were amazing hosts. The Hotel Pantheon itself is a part of Naxos history, and the owners are proud of its story and heritage. You can feel all the stories imbedded in the beautiful white washed walls as you wind the staircase in the old market town up to the bedrooms. Although there is no AC, if you leave the windows open at night you will be fine (and trust me, we love our AC, but we were good). The hotel, rooms and restrooms were very clean and Vasilis did whatever he could to be sure we were comfortable. We were offered local wine and figs upon arrival, which was so appreciated after the long ferry ride. And Vasilis took great care to tell us about the island and offer tips and suggestions on where to rent a car and the best beaches, driving trips, etc. We had 5 days in Naxos, which gave us time to relax at the various beaches, all beautiful, enjoy the chora and old market area, and explore other areas on the island. I definitely recommend renting a car. If you stay in the chora, there are free parking lots around the area for guests in easy walking distance of hotels and restaurants. Be sure to talk with Vasilis about his recommendations for car rental shops and what you want to see and do. He was very helpful and gave us pro tips to help us plan our day. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and felt at home, thanks to Vasilis and Mairivi, and their charming hotel. We will certainly be back!
