Where to begin?
Stelios was from the start of the reservation, communicative, thorough, welcoming, and incredibly intent on my family enjoying our trip in every respect.
Before we even arrived in Athens he offered us travle tips, restaurant recommendations, connected us to an affordable car rental with free carseats for our 2 children, researched and found us taxi service with carseats in Athens, and was willing to answer any question we had.
When we arrived in Athens he met us for dinner, and over some wine he helped familiarize us with tips on dining and traveling in both Athens and Naxos. He drew us a map of Naxos with his favorite highlights, people to talk to, things to eat.... not a single detail was overlooked.
He always offered us gps links to any destination we needed or wanted to get to while in Naxos and were never lost or unsure about how to get around. His delightful aunt Katerina and her son met us in Filoti when we arrived, escorted us up to the house, carried our bags in for us and showed us around the house and all the amenities. The house is gorgeous, quiet, and everything you could ever want for a trip to the Cyclades. My family bought fresh bread, produce, and eggs in town and spent every morning having breakfast and sipping coffee then relaxing on the terrace to take in the mountains. We could text Stelios with any question we had while we were there and would receive responses in minutes.
When we couldn't figure out how to use the washing machine, his aunt so generously came by while we were out and figured it out for us... then hung our laundry and left us homemade cookies! We felt like part of the family.
I could go on and on but in short, we will absolutely be back to Naxos, and when we come we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else. Stelios is truly passionate for hospitality and it shows completely.
