Xenodocheio Anatoli is in Naxos Town, the capital of the largest island in the Cyclades. Naxos Town is a lively seaside settlement with white houses, narrow lanes, tavernas and cafés around the port. It suits those who want to get around on foot and have everyday activity nearby, while still enjoying the character of an island centre.
Naxos Castle, with the Sanoudos Tower, stands on the hill above the port, next to the Archaeological Museum of Naxos. At the end of the pier, 1.2 km from the hotel, stands the Portara, the marble gateway of an ancient temple, where many people go to watch the sunset. Agios Georgios Beach is 800 m away, with shallow water and several places to eat by the sea. The port is 1 km away and the airport is 2.2 km away, making travel by ferry or plane straightforward.
During the summer season, from May to October, Naxos is lively, and the sea stays warm through September. In July and August, the meltemi often blows, which those who enjoy water sports will appreciate, as the beaches on the island’s west coast are known for their wind. A car or scooter will take you to the island’s mountain villages and the ancient Kouros at Melanes. Out of season, Naxos Town remains quiet and pleasant for walks through the castle’s lanes, with cafés and tavernas open for locals.
