If you’re searching hundreds of places (like I was) you can stop now. I’m going to be %100 straight with you....this is the place to stay. It’s centrally located, which was something I was concerned about. I wanted to be in a cool area but I didn’t know the areas! Rick Steve’s was spot on when he said this is the area to stay in. You’re in old town so you can walk everywhere. The beach is about a 1 minute walk and it’s beautiful. Too many kids for us so we opted for Plako beach. They have a nude area, which was great. The apartment is a little roomier than what the pics show. Perfect for 2 people but you probably could manage 3. Nikkos (Maria’s brother) picked us up at the airport and had many travel tips for us. He was incredibly hospitable, as was his father. Such a beautiful, kind family. We loved them. We were there 10 days and hated to say good bye to Naxos AND Nikkos. Both the island and our hosts touched our hearts and I’ll never forget this experience. You can trust my review. Even if I loved the hosts but hated the apartment or location, I would still be honest. Oh...if you’re renting a vehicle, go to Mikes Bikes. They are very honest and will give you a good deal, unlike the other rental areas around there. We used them for 7 days. Very sweet people.
