Xenodocheio Kymata is in Agios Georgios, the long sandy beach of Naxos Town, where the sea is shallow and the seafront fills with tavernas, bars and shops in summer. The neighbourhood is lively and convenient if you want to combine swimming with a city stay, and is especially popular with couples. In the evening, you can walk along the beach past illuminated tavernas and cafés overlooking the water, with Chora just beyond.
Towards the old centre, the town climbs towards the Castle, a Venetian settlement with stone alleyways, the Sanoudos Tower and the Archaeological Museum of Naxos, 550 m from the hotel. Further down, at the entrance to the port, stands the Portara, the marble gateway of an unfinished temple of Apollo and a symbol of the island. Ferries to the other islands leave from Chora Port, and Naxos Airport is 1.7 km away.
Naxos is pleasant from May to October, with warm sea temperatures until September. In summer, the meltemi often brings a refreshing breeze to the beaches. If you want somewhere quieter, head south towards Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna, two well-known sandy beaches; the first is 3.6 km away. A simple day might start with breakfast and a swim at Agios Georgios, followed by an afternoon walk around the Castle and sunset at the Portara. If you hire a car or scooter, you can visit the Kouros of Melanes, 5 km from the hotel, or the Temple of Demeter in the island's interior.
