If you are staying more then a couple days it is best to book in advance so you can get what you want,where you want it at a price you want to pay, rather then taking what you get when you get there.There are hotels and resorts of every catagory and these can be booked through Fantasy Travel or Dolphin Hellas Travel in Athens, and Aegean Thesaurus Travel in Sifnos. There is also a directory of hotels in Naxos at www.hotelsofgreece.com Keep in mind that during a down-year in tourism, (which is any year after 9/11) you can find bargains with travel agencies who have booked rooms in advance and will sell them low rather than leave them empty. |
||||
|
You will also find hotels promoting themselves on the internet and offering low prices but you have to ask yourself whether saving a few Euro is worth not having the assistance of a travel agent for other aspects of your trip like ferries, hotel in Athens or someone to answer your questions and help you if there are any complications. Generally hotels can't help you, not because they are mean or don't care, but because they don't know how and don't have the time. The same goes for booking with the interactive travel and hotel booking services. In my opinion the money you may save is not worth the hassle of trying to figure out everything else by yourself. Also a travel agent will have knowledge of a hotel that you won't find on the hotel's website or the interactive site for example if it is next to a disco or the owner is a tyrant or 'on the beach' is an exaggeration. There are also villas and homes available on the island that you can find at www.greecetravel.com/villas |

Hotels
in Naxos are of all sizes and styles and of varying quality. Unless
you are on a budget and just need a place to lay down at the end
of a long day at the beach I recommend spending a little extra and
staying somewhere with air-conditioning and of a slightly higher
quality than the rent-rooms offered. Many families broke up their farms and built rooms and 'hotels' and you may find some gems among them. But you may find yourself in a hot damp concrete room waiting for the dawn so you can check out and get yourself into a real hotel. Remember that Naxos was and is an agricultural island and a few years ago the people running these hotels were digging potatoes on the very spot. This is one reason why it is best to work with
a travel agency in Athens that knows the hotels. They can find a comfortable place for you no matter what your budget is. There is no reason to be uncomfortable during your holiday, especially on an island as beautiful as Naxos with so many choices of places to stay.
When
you get off the boat there is the
usual line of the domatia
kamakis, each waving a photo of
the particular room they
represent though now instead of charging
the ferries they are kept behind the gates and are surprisingly
quiet. You can follow one of
them to see their place but it has
been my experience that unless the
rooms are absolutely horrible, I
am unlikely to walk back to the
port and look for another and
accept my fate, at least for the
night. If you are island hopping
and just here for a couple days
you can take your chances or try
booking in advance from your
previous island if you are working
with an agency in Greece for the
other aspects of your travel. For
example if you are on Sifnos and
working with Aegean Thesaurus let
them know that your next island is
Naxos and see what they can find
for you. Some agencies are happy
to do this for all the islands,
though in the busy season it is a
lot of work for them. You can also
ask Despina for rooms at the Naxos
Tourist Information
Center.
I stayed at the beautiful family-run Agios Prokopios
Hotel at Agios
Prokopios Beach. It was very
nice and has a pool and is perfect
for families. It is not exactly on the beach but in a small neighborhood of rooms and hotels but in about four minutes you can be on the beach. There is a computer in the lobby where you can get your e-mail and the buildings surrounded by grape vines, fruit trees and flowers. Rooms are air-conditioned and comfortable and Vagellis and his family are great hosts and you will feel like you are living with a Greek family. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance and the town of Agios Prokopios
hs some shops and a supermarket or two. There is a bus stop within walking distance and you can get into town easily if you don't have a car. The prices are very reasonable if you are on a budget. 
The Hotel Porto
Naxos on Saint George Beach is
generally recognized as one of the
finest hotels in the Greek
Islands. We stayed here too and really enjoyed
it, especially my daughter who we could not get out of the heart-shaped
pool. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the center of Naxos and
20 minutes to the port. It is a 5 minute walk to Agios Georgios
beach. They have spent a lot of time
and energy on creating one of the nicest gardens of any hotel I
have visited, not just flowers and trees but herbs as well and anyone
with an interest in botany will find plenty to keep themselves entertained. The breakfast buffet was ample and interesting and
the rooms were luxureous. Best of all were the staff, particularly
Margarita and Leonidas who were friendly and entertaining and also
very helpful in recommending places to eat and visit. Many
of the rooms were separate buildings, like little cycladic houses.
All rooms had satelite TV and big beautiful bathrooms. 
Naxos
Imperial Hotel is located only few minutes away from the town of Naxos, in the
famous beach of Agios Prokopios. The hotel is build just on the
seafront, where guests can enjoy the crystal clear blue waters and the golden
sandy beach. For more privacy, the hotel offers a small private beach with a
beach bar. The hotel also features a large swimming pool. In the perfect
setting, with a stunning view at the sea and just a few steps of the water
front, guests can enjoy a long drink or a cocktail at the bar or dine in the
multi-cuisine restaurant, over viewing either the pool or the majestic view to
the sea. 
Steps from
the Aegean Sea, beside the white sands of Pyrgaki Beach, these studios in the
south of Naxos offer modern accommodation amidst attractive surroundings.
Admire the sea views from your private balcony before swimming or sun
bathing on one of the most beautiful, quiet and unspoiled beaches on the island
of Naxos. Stay around the hotel for more outdoor relaxation around the
swimming pool and children's swimming pool. Stroll through the 4000m² garden
area before cooling off with a drink from the pool-bar. On a trip to the
island's capital, Naxos Town, you can spend a day exploring the harbour, shops,
nightlife or the many places to eat and drink. At 20 km away, you can enjoy its
noise and bustle before returning to the quieter Cycladic lifestyle at Finikas. 
Offering
high-standard accommodation next to the beach to those wishing to enjoy the
natural beauty of the island, this is an ideal hotel for relaxing holidays.
