Description Goddess of Light: Naxos

Where it's wedged between rolling hills and the sea, this waterfront villa was made for beach lovers and sun worshippers alike. With Plaka Beach so close, the private pool almost seems redundant – almost, but what's better than a poolside cocktail in a sun lounger – and local tavernas only a short stroll away, this home gets a big tick for location. But we also like the flexibility of having an adjacent apartment that puts just enough distance between it and the villa for a teenager or grandparent to have a little extra privacy when joining in on a family holiday. There's also ample seating to admire the views from.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Smoking is allowed here.
*One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay.
*Daily cleaning is included so there's less for you to worry about.
*Though a car isn't essential, you'll find parking here should you choose to hire one.
*The bedrooms are spread across the main villa and an adjacent apartment. There's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*At full occupancy, there won't be enough space around the dining table for everyone.
*As with most homes in Greece, toilet paper can't be flushed. Please use the sanitary bin provided.
