Eleni is a super host. She picked us up from the port on arrival, providing a tour of the town. She dropped over regularly to check we were ok, provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and general information about travel in the island. She was highly responsive to all communications and generous. She also provided the most delicious chocolate cheese cake, home made wine and raki and vanilla slices!!! How spoilt were we!! Efcharisto poli Eleni!!!
The apartment is spacious with two big bedrooms and comfortable beds. There is plenty of wardrobe space. There is a trundle bed in the lounge allowing for sleeping for six people. The apartment is modern and spotlessly clean. It is fully equipped with a lovely kitchen with all necessary cooking and eating implements. There is a delightful sunken court yard at the front affording sunshine and privacy.
The apartment is ten minutes walk from the port area. Car rentals are accessible on foot from the apartment. Taverna with excellent traditional food area also within five minutes walk. The port and the Main Street through the town square to the port are lined with jewellery and craft shops, cafes and bars. Naxos is a stunning island with much to do and incomparable landscapes.
The driving although challenging was not vexed by busy roads (we were here in early May) and it is possible to see much of the island in two days, but I would allow at least three as it is a big island and also so you can soak up the special, ancient and magical Naxian atmosphere. I met one German gentleman who told me he’d come to Naxos consistently for 25 years! We stayed for four nights and we were sad to leave. Highly recommended .
