The apartment is located a bit outside of the city center in a quiet street. Everything looks great, is comfortable and has enough space even for longer stays.
A supermarket is also right next to it for quick daily grocery shopping/necessities. There are some bakeries and shops close by as well.
The apartment is very well equipped for the times when we did some cooking ourselves instead of going to one of the many restaurants and bars in Naxos town.
From the apartment it’s quite easy and quick to get to a lot of nearby beaches and historical sites. The city beach is not even 5 minutes away with a car or roughly 15 minutes on foot. We had no problems going to the city beach and city center on foot several times, although having a vehicle in general makes sense - which we had for most of our stay. There is free parking for a car, ATV or scooter right next to the apartment.
Other western beaches are about 15-30 minutes away with a quad/ATV or with city buses. There are further beaches in the north and east - the furthest being Panormos (1,5h) with very few other people there for a beautiful and relaxing day.
The city center itself is quite lively and has some interesting historical sites. It’s great to wander around in the afternoon or morning and explore the narrow streets on foot and end on the wooden beach promenade.
A visit to the villages in the mountains is a must! But beware a lot of steps though.
On the first few days Konstantza surprised us with some goods from the bakery that she put in front of our door! We appreciated this a lot and it gave us tasty ideas for later shopping/dining. When we had questions on where to best rent a quad/vehicle she gave us a good recommendation. She also provided fresh towels and bed sheets every few days.
Konstantza and her daughter even picked us up from the port and drove us to the apartment. On our last day her husband brought us back to the port - all for free.
They made us feel welcome right away and had a lot of tips on what to do. We could contact them at any time and get a quick reply to any questions we had.
Overall we really enjoyed our stay and are already thinking of coming back at some point!
