Rafaela's husband Mike warmly welcomed us on our arrival at the port of Naxos and we followed him in our hired car to the house located in the mountain village of Koronas. The drive took about 35 minutes but was well worth it as the scenery and views on the way were stunning. The accommodation is a real surprise. It's the ground floor of a small village house, beautifully designed, compact and comfortable. There is a sitting area in the front porch. Rafaela & Mike are very hospitable and generous as they supplied us with bread, cakes, wine, coffee and other goodies. The parking area is in the small square very close to the house. The village itself is built against the steep hillside and it's lovely to walk in the narrow alley's going up and down the slopes. People are very friendly here, most of them speak a little English and are helpful in giving directions and tips if needed. There is a small restaurant near the upper car park and a couple of taverna's lower down in the heart of the village. We loved our week's stay here and can thoroughly recommend it as a home base for walking enthousiast's and people who want to discover the island, it's villages and cultural attractions.
