“Clean, quiet, and just a walk away from Naxos Town”

Astir of Naxos

26 Oct 2007

The Astir of Naxos is a clean, quiet, and new hotel on the edge of town but within walking distance of Chora. We found the distance of 20-30 minutes walk to be a bonus. You may find the hotel lacks a bit in charm because of its newness. There is a grocery store very near by where you can buy wine and honey cheaper than in the tourist areas. The pool is beautiful and its hours of operation are somewhat limited as a courtesy to the guests who sleep late or go to bed early. I believe most rooms have a view of the pool as well as a balcony. There is also a fridge but it was so well hidden we didn’t find it until the last day. The breakfast is above average (all the hotels in Greece overcook the scrambled eggs, undercook the bacon, and the orange juice is really orange drink). Marusha (sp?) was a most helpful front desk person and recommended some great restaurants. Mr. Margaritas is also very friendly and seems genuinely interested in his guests.

TIPS – DO rent a car and drive all over this amazing island. In just a few minutes you’re out in the countryside with goat herding locals and ancient Byzantine churches sprinkled about. Buy a woven textile from the “weaver woman” in Halki and stop for coffee and ice cream in the mountain village of Filoti.

DO go horseback riding with the very serious, professional but still fun Iris Neubauer. Our boys (13 and 9) loved it as did we. We saw parts of the island you would otherwise miss.

DON’T bother eating at Nicko’s as suggested in the Frommer’s guidebook. The food was less than mediocre and the service was terrible. There are so many great restaurants in Naxos Town, why waste any time on this one!

In June we had a lovely stay at Astir of Naxos and this for the second time in two years. It gave us total satisfaction.
Apart from the a safety protection of the swimming pool nothing did change comparing with last year.
Correct management by Mr. Michalis Margaritis, who is dealy present and doing the utmost to help the guests and to comply with their wishes.
Reception staff is very professional and kind, always willing to help you and give advice with a big smile.
Staff in charge of the daily cleaning of the rooms and maintenance deserve a special word of gratitude, they are hard-working, very polite and always correct in relation to the guests.
Rooms are comfortable enough with functioning airco, a frig and a nice terras.
Breakfast is ok, not that comprehensive but daily fresh and enough choice, good enough for us.
Like everything at Astir of Naxos also the swimming pool is very clean and daily maintained and what is so nice to have are the wooden deck chairs, so comfortable and free towels.
The hotel is at about a 20 minutes walk from the chora. May be the only negative point is the lack of street lighting when taking the short way to the chora.
Overall review is very good, congratulations to the manager and the whole staff.
It was our second time and for sure there will be a third time, let's hope it will be next year.

5/5 found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel following a recommendation.It is quietly situated a few minutes walk from St.George beach (with numerous cafes and tavernas) and 15-20 minutes walk from the town centre via the beach boardwalk and back roads.The architectural style (low rise,cubist) is appealing and the grounds well landscaped ,with plenty of shrubbery to provide a screen from neighbouring properties.The pool area looked great though I didn't use it during my short stay.The reception was friendly and helpful (the proprietor even drove me into town to catch the ferry).The room (on the second floor) was more than adequate - large,bright,with a nice balcony with mountain views,very comfortable bed and modern bathroom which "worked".Oddly,there was no minibar (only a fridge) and no instructions on how to operate the phone,etc,which one might have expected with a hotel of this quality.Sound-proofing was excellent.Breakfast was good,self-serve with hot and cold options and a choice of indoor and outdoor seating.Definitely a good choice of hotel in Naxos Town if you don't mind the walk into town and/or have a hire car.

5/7 found this review helpful

Very nice hotel, very clean, lovely pool!
Breakfast is ok, seen better at other hotels in the Cyclades.
About 3 minute walk to Agios Georgios beach and 15 minute walk to waterfront in Naxos Town, so it's convenient, no need to take the bus to go to town. The street-road to come back at night may seem a little scary at first but never had any problem and felt safe.

Easy to take the bus to Plaka and Agios Prokopis (bus stop a 2 minute walk from hotel). For the bus to villages in the center of the island, you have to go to the waterfront in town.

Big supermarket and bakery right next to hotel.

Overall a comfortable stay!
