Casa Borealis is on the ring road around Naxos Town, on the edge of the town, with views towards the sea and the mountain. Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades, with sandy beaches, mountain villages and ancient monuments a short distance from one another. It is a quiet spot for anyone who wants their own home with a kitchen and patio, while keeping Naxos Town 2 km away.
Naxos Town stands around the Venetian Castle, 2 km from the property, with its narrow stone alleys, Archaeological Museum and Sanoudos Tower. The Portara, the marble gateway to an unfinished temple of Apollo, stands at the entrance to the port, where ferries depart for neighbouring islands. The nearest beach is Agios Georgios, 2.6 km away, with sand and shallow water. It is often windy there and popular with people who enjoy wind-powered water sports. The island's airport is 4 km away and serves flights to and from Athens.
As there is no public transport, a car or scooter is the easiest way to get around. The best time for swimming is from May to October, while the meltemi often blows in July and August. One idea for the day: morning coffee on the patio, a walk around the Castle, dinner at the port and sunset at the Portara. The southern beaches and inland villages are an easy drive away.
