Sea Nymphs Suites is in Agia Anna, one of Naxos’s best-known coastal neighbourhoods, on the island’s west coast. The village is busiest in summer, when the tavernas fill up. The area stretches around a long sandy beach with calm waters, with tavernas by the sea and small shops, and an evening walk on the sand is part of the day. It suits you if you want to wake up by the waves and have easy access to the island’s main town.
To the south is the long sandy beach at Plaka, 450 m away, and to the north is Agios Prokopios Beach, with clean sand and blue waters. A little further on, 2.5 km away, is the Yria archaeological site, with the ruins of an ancient sanctuary. To the north, the road leads to Naxos Town, with its port, narrow lanes and Venetian castle, and to the Portara, the marble gateway of an unfinished temple of Apollo, 4.9 km away. The island’s airport is just 1.4 km from the property.
The best time for swimming is from May to October. In July and August, the meltemi often blows, which appeals to fans of wind-powered water sports, while September has warm waters and fewer people. One idea for the day: a morning swim at the beach, lunch in Naxos Town and sunset by the Portara, with a bicycle or car for trips to the inland villages.
