Come with us to a new Naxos hotel in 2015

Picking up from where we left, we are happy to introduce to you our new partner, Hotel Francesca.

Hotel Francesca is at just 60 meters from the beach of Agios Prokopios, in a quiet area. The hotel offers rooms for 2, studios for up to 4 and spacious apartments for up to 5 persons, equipped with all amenities you expect in a hotel (such as WiFi, TV, hair dryer, safe, etc.). In addition they have free parking and a children's playground. Free breakfast is included in the room rate (if you book a studio or an apartment breakfast is charged an extra 5 euro per person).

However, most important of all, your hosts want to provide a family atmosphere in their hotel and make you feel really at home.

The advantage when booking a hotel at Agios Prokopios is that all facilities are in a walking distance (super markets, restaurants or bars, bus stop, pharmacy) as well as our scuba diving partner and one of our rent a car partners. Let alone the crystal waters of the beach, which is awarded with a Blue Flag Award.

Take a look around, prices at Hotel Francesca start at 30 € / room in May (B&B), and feel free to contact us.

And don't forget, in May, June and September we offer a 15% discount on all rental vehicles at our partners on the island of Naxos.

Are you ready for Naxos holidays 2015?

Summer season 2014 is over – or is it not?

Well, October in Greece is still in a summer mood, the sun is shining, the temperature ranges in the mid-20s and the seas are warmer than in July! Still, our partners on Naxos are closing down for winter and we are all making plans for the next season.

We, Naxos Apartments, are in the process of gradually updating our website. First of all we are uploading new photos! Gradually we present all accommodation with more photos in a bigger resolution so that you can have a better understanding of the facilities and services offered by each partner. Some of you having been asking for photos of the exact room you will buy -hem, sorry- rent, so we are trying to fulfill your needs.

In parallel, we are updating the prices for 2015. Not everybody has yet a price policy for the next season, we see a trend of increases after almost 5 years of stable prices, with special seasonal offers. But still we have good news.

The owners of Villa Alyko have substantially decreased their prices. For instance, a family with children - or anyway 8 friends - could spend their holiday in the period between 10 June - 15 July and pay 205  / day, or in September and pay 155 € / day. And you know what, a rental car is included in this price!!



The villa is at 200 m. from secluded, sandy Alyko beach - yes, the villa does have a sea view - and has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, garden with barbecue plus of course facilities such as air conditioning, SAT TV, Internet and washing machine.

Don't take long, book even now, this is a very good offer, up end accommodation and car and majestic beach!

We shall be keeping you posted with additional updates - plus the update of our iphone App!!

August's supermoon on Naxos

Celebrate the full moon tomorrow on Naxos, it will be a supermoon! 

What is a supermoon? Well, it is a popular term for perigee full (or new) moon, meaning a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit.

The supermoon of this August is one of the largest and brightest full moons of the year. The U.S. Naval Observatory says the moon will be 12% bigger and 30% brighter than it was in January 2014. Let me remind you that, according to NASA, the full moons of this summer, on July 12, August 10 and September 9, are all supermoons - so you will still have a chance in September :-) .

So, how will you enjoy the phenomenon?

What's up?

Long time no see! All this time, we have been busy redesigning our website, updating useful travel information on how to reach Naxos via Athens, Santorini or even Myconos and last, but not least, enriching the variety of accommodation we offer you. Plus working on an iPhone application which will facilitate your travel and your stay on the island - we'll keep you posted on this promising project.

To get back to "what's up" with Naxos Apartments, we always have as our priority your satisfaction. Therefore we constantly control whether every and each one of our partners is flexible, qualified to offer the best or responsive to your needs. Bearing this in mind, we have added the following new accommodation and we are happy to provide you with more options:

  • Hotel Katerina, located at only 60 meters from the beach of Agios Prokopios, offers rooms, studios and apartments, as well as a swimming pool with jacuzzi. The hotel is centrally located, meaning you can reach on foot a mini market, the bus stop, taverns / cafes or a car rental and prices range from 35 to 119 €, depending -as in all cases- on type of room, tourist period and occupancy. And remember, children up to 3 years old can stay FREE OF CHARGE

Here also children up to 3 years old can stay FREE OF CHARGE

What's more, we have a couple of interesting news on our existing partners:

  • Sea Melody (Plaka) has a special offer for this June: instead of 36 €, they offer their studio for 2 persons at 30 €
  • Valena Mare (Plaka) is at the moment constructing a swimming pool at the premises, so come spring you can enjoy your refreshments by the pool bar or host your own personal barbecue!

Plus, Valena Mare welcomes your pets!
