Mikra Bay Vineyard Guesthouses is in the countryside on Naxos, on the Naxos–Moni provincial road, 10 km from Chora. Here, Naxos is countryside, far from Chora, and days pass more slowly than at the port. The houses have their own barbecue and terrace for dining outdoors. This area suits you if you would rather have your own house with a garden and barbecue than stay in a hotel in town. The countryside around the property is suitable for cycling, hiking and fishing.
Abrami Beach is 1.6 km away and Amitis Beach is a little further on, while the island’s best-known beaches are towards Chora and the south. The Melanes Valley, with its Kouros, an unfinished marble statue from the ancient world, is 8 km away. Chora, with its Venetian castle, lanes and Portara, is 10 km away, and Naxos Island National Airport is 12 km away.
You need a car or scooter to see everything, and the property’s private parking makes this easy. 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. In spring and autumn, the fireplace and walks through inland villages suit the island, and a quiet day might mean a morning stroll, a swim and an evening meal on the terrace.
