The view is breathtaking -the flat is nestled in a vineyard, with unobstructed view on Mikra Bay.
It is gorgeously decorated and the temperature is always cool inside.
The host Ioannis and his agent, Alexandra, were always super nice and helpful. Ioannis even encouraged us to help ourselves to the strawberries, courgettes and herbs he grows in the garden. He also gave us ultra fresh eggs, local cheeses and wine. All delicious.
When Ioannis found out that it was our little girl’s birthday, he even got her presents!!! And he left a paddle board and some beach toys for us to borrow.
This was the perfect flat for us as we wanted an authentic experience of Naxos. We could do day trips to visit the various sites and then be back in time for a swim, with the beach to ourselves.
However, this might not be for everyone. Most sites and the main town, Chora, are at least 30 minutes away by car through windy roads (you'd better be comfortable with mountain driving). And the closest mini markets, which are at least 20 minutes away by car, tend to charge extortionate prices (for Naxos) for a very limited range. So it’s best to do a big shop when you arrive on the island.
But if you are after unspoilt natural beauty and complete peace and quiet, with very lovely host, then we warmly recommend it.
