This apartment is exceptional value for money. It is directly opposite the sea with views out of the front door in the beautiful Giardini Naxos bay. Its an easy walking distance to the more crowded tourist end of the beach but has all of the conveniences of local shops and restaurants. The only downside with this place are the busy roads at the front and back of the apartment - if you're not a light sleeper this wouldn't worry you because the traffic dies down by 11pm at night. We were able to park our hire car in the street behind the seafront with no hassles. The Pasticeria a few doors down La Dolceria is exceptional and Lido Europa 10 mins walk on the seafront has the best pizza. Maria doesn't have a lot of english so we used Google Translate and Skycode app (works offline) and were able to communicate no problem. Loved our stay here and wanted to stay longer.
