My husband, myself and our four-month-old son arrived on Naxos after a very short but delayed ferry from Mykonos and were immediately greated by Nikos who was very welcoming. Upon arriving we found a plate of fresh fruit waiting for us - which was so welcome after having waited for our very late ferry in the hot, hot sun! The apartment we stayed in was very neat and clean and had a very nice balcony.

Nikos' father Ioannis assisted us with renting a car complete with an infant carseat for an amazing price and shared his recommendations for beaches, sightseeing, and restaurants to ensure we had the best experience possible. However, if you do not wish to rent a car, the apartments are a short distance from the beach and a nice walking distance to the town centre and seafront (especially if you walk along the beach at sunset).

This property has a lovely garden and pool area, which we enjoyed immensely, especially after we discovered that our son is not yet a beach-lover! The internet connection was fast and reliable and we were easily able to use a baby monitor app on our iPhones so that we could enjoy the sun and pool as our baby slept in the room.

The apartment was cleaned daily and Nikos’ mother Katerina provides a fantastic same-day laundry service at a very reasonable price. Ioannis & Katerina were always available if we needed anything. We would especially like to thank Katerina who helped us, late one night, when we got stuck on our balcony with our infant son sleeping inside – a piece of advice: don’t pull the screen down while on the balcony as it is only meant to open from inside the room!

We will gladly stay with Nikos and his family again should we find our way back to Naxos. We wish him and his family well! Cheers! Kathryn, Joey & Xavier
