Nikos and Rania own the most lovely newly renovated studio minutes away from the beach through a cute shaded reed pathway.
We arrived in Naxos on 30th August 2019 with a basic idea of our itinerary, having planned a four-night stay before heading off to our next islands.
Nikos and Rania live on Limnos and their care-takers are the lovely Mr Giorgos (father in law) and Mrs Katerina (mother in law) who are very sweet. Rania and Nikos facilitated the translations through chat/calls.
The room was freshly renovated, linens and towels, floors, bathroom, kitchen so clean. There were details like laundry soap and a washing machine (which is a rare find among many studios). There was a naturistic feel to the bathroom with beautiful local rocks on the floor and a beach-sand textured shower. I want one for my home now too!!
My most memorable impression, going back to my beginning thought... is that although we had a basic idea of what we were planning it was because of Rani and Nikos that we were able to fill in the blanks with details. Recommendations on off-the beaten path locations, tavernas which were a local favorite, deals on water-sports, mini-markets... anything you can imagine. And in our mind, it is the host who understands that you are a little confused wonderer the first few days you get to an island, and makes you feel at home (even all the way from Limnos) like Rania and Nikos, which sets them apart from the others.
αγκαλιές και φιλιά και ατελείωτες ευχαριστίες Ράνια και Νίκο!
