We visited the island of Naxos for 4 nights, and stayed in Filoti for two nights. Our host was the SO SO nice! She was incredibly sweet, and made us feel like family. They were able to take us to the home, and told us about the village.
Filoti is lovely- it’s small, quaint, just a few places to eat, and it feels like you are living the true Greek island life. Actually, we ate some of the best food of our whole trip at the one or two restaurants in the village. You can walk to the main part in about 8 mins, depending on the route you take. We bought nectarines and wine at the shop next to the restaurant. The pizza there was really good too! There is a little museum next to the church, and the lady gave us a complimentary tour which taught us about life in Filoti year ago. It was a highlight of our visit.
The apartment is very spacious. The view was so nice and relaxing. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony at night for a little breeze, as the apartment does not have AC, and we needed to cool down! The kitchen was well equipped with a coffee machine, staples, and everything you need to cook if that is your plan.
Take advantage of the bus service around Naxos! It’s a nice way to see the island, and convenient.
We already miss Naxos, and hope to come back again soon!
