Kalypso Vacation Home Naxos Town is in Naxos Town, the island's capital, in the IKA area. The town spreads around the harbour and Venetian Castle, with narrow paved lanes, shops and tavernas, and is lively and busy in summer. The Castle is 850 m away, and the Old Town is close enough to explore without a car.
Agios Georgios Beach, 500 m away, has sand and shallow water, with the beaches of Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna and Plaka further south. The Portara, the marble gateway of an ancient temple that was never completed, is the town's best-known sunset spot, while the harbour, with ferries to Piraeus and other islands, is 1.2 km away. Naxos Island National Airport is 1.8 km away. From the house, you can see the sea, mountains and town.
By car or scooter, you can easily reach the Kouros of Melanes and the Temple of Demeter in the island's interior. The best time for swimming is from May to October, with the meltemi often blowing in July and August and the sea staying warm in September. Naxos Town is quieter in spring and autumn, and the house's hot tub and fireplace suit cooler evenings. A good day here might start with a morning swim, continue with a stroll through the Old Town's lanes and end with dinner by the harbour.
