Our stay at Villa Aetheria was the highlight of our trip to Greece, and Naxos was our absolute favorite island! Our party included nine people from the Chicago area, including six teens, and all ages loved every minute of our stay there. The villa was spacious, clean, and gorgeous--modern Greek luxury. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfy, and the bathrooms were lovely. Athena and Takis were terrific and helped us in many ways. I booked this property a year in advance, and Athena communicated with me throughout the whole year, helping me arrange a catamaran trip, automatic rental cars, etc. Once we arrived, we were able to text them at any time of the day or night; they helped us find our way around the island and continued to give us many recommendations of restaurants and activities based on our interests and moods day by day. The villa's location on the island is ideal, but definitely rent a car if you want to see more of the island other than just the beach. There is so much to see! Driving to the bustling Chora (town) is a quick 15 minute car trip. Takis also gave us great advice about our hike to the top of Mt. Zeus (look it up on TripAdvisor!--mind-blowing views from the top--HIGHLY recommended if you are in good physical shape). Plaka beach was beautiful--clear blue water and golden sand, awesome beachside food and drink service, just 3-5 minutes by foot--and the villa is also situated very close to a beachside pool bar that only requires you to order drinks if you prefer a pool. It is also in walking or very short driving distance to two mini grocery marts. I can't wait to recommend their properties to my friends from the States who plan to visit Greece. Thank you, Athena and Takis, for a wonderful trip! We were so sad to leave your amazing villa.
