CENTRAL CYCLADES
Client Reviews from Naxos
Just wanted to pass on our thanks for what we thought
was a lovely holiday in Naxos. Our accommodation was at the Hotel Proteas
at Agia Prokopios which was excellent. We can't fault it in any way. it's
situated in a quiet location, but within easy reach of beach and other
amenities in the village. The facilities on offer in the hotel were
excellent, especially the option of being able to have a prepared
breakfast and to have snacks through the day. If you wanted a total
chill-out day by the pool this was do-able and in the superb ambiance of
the colourful gardens. The hotel was cleaned top to bottom every day and
our linen changed daily. The family were very friendly and made running a
hotel in heat look effortless. Our room was a corner room with fantastic
views all round. By the way, in our accommodation - no Martians.

We were somewhat shocked on seeing the development of
the west coast beaches after 29 years. However, we hired a car and spent
most of every day driving around the island, finding the BEAUTIFUL interior hardly changed and the ancient sites very accessible and
glorious. Also the more out of the way beaches.
We particularly want to thank you for recommending the Hotel Grotta. The
Lianos family are outstanding hoteliers. Not only is the hotel extremely
comfortable, but the friendliness of Nicoletta and Dimitris permeated the
atmosphere.helpful to every one with lots of good advice on offer.

Hotel Proteas, Ag. Prokopios
Almost invisible under the bougainvillea, the Pagounis is a hybrid – basically self-catering but you can purchase breakfast. Designed like a Cycladic village, the balconies and terraces have sea view and there’s a small pool at the front. The beach, shops and tavernas are a few minutes away on foot. Good bus or taxi service to town. An excellent base for a group with teenagers.
Cat.B; air-con, sat TV, phone, optional breakfast. S/C 2-4 pers.

Psili Ammos, Pyrgaki
Overlooking the vast empty beach, the taverna offers meals on its shady terrace with some studios and apartments upstairs. We have had no reports of noise probably because it is an obvious Mecca for lunch but too remote to attract people for dinner.
S/C 2-4 pers.

Hotel Ostria, Moutsouna
By the gate is Giannis’ taverna on the sea, serving some of the best food on the island. Behind in grassy lawns are the bougainvillea-clad studios, plus one apartment. Almost every room has a sea view across to mountainous Donoussa. The village is a short stroll away and a string of sandy bays runs southwards for ever.
Air-con. S/C 2-4 pers.

Golden Beach Studios, Town
About a three minute stroll from the long horseshoe of sandy town beach skirting St George’s Bay and perhaps 10 minutes’ walk from the main harbour, these studios are quiet, comfortable and well appointed if fairly simple. The landlady is charming and helpful.
