"Naxos Magic Village was the highlight of our trip to Naxos, dare I say even Greece! From the moment we entered the property we were in awe of the view. You can hear the sea waves and spot the turquoise water beach. The staff made us feel welcomed from the first moment hurrying to carry our luggage giving us drinks and helping us every single day with affordable transfers and booking local excursions. Orestis, was incredibly hospitable and made us feel at home helping us with booking last minute excursions when we had to change our plans and accommodated our transfer to all excursions and back while giving us recommendations for Athens. His banter, respectful care, and friendliness made Naxos feel like home. I’ve never witnessed this amount of hospitality, or Philoxenia as the Greeks call it, anywhere else but my own home country."

10/10 Excellent
"An Unforgettable Week in Paradise – The Perfect Naxos Base! Our one-week stay at the Liana Beach Hotel & Spa was nothing short of perfection. Situated directly on the crystal-clear waters of Agios Prokopios Beach, this gorgeous property beautifully blends traditional Cycladic architecture with modern luxury. Not only is it a pristine beach resort, but it also served as the perfect central location for touring the rest of the island during our week-long trip. From the seamless arrival transfer to our final departure, the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff made us feel completely at home. We stayed in the Hestia suite, which was beautifully renovated, spotless, and incredibly spacious, featuring a private balcony with a hot tub and stunning views of the Aegean Sea. Coming back to a perfectly cooled room with premium bedding after a long day of exploring the villages and beaches of Naxos was an absolute dream. The Highlights: The Location: Literally steps away from one of the best beaches in Naxos, with complimentary, comfortable sun loungers and umbrellas. It makes exploring the island by day and relaxing by the ocean by afternoon completely effortless. The Staff: The true heartbeat of the hotel. A special shoutout to Socrates and Yanny, our wonderful morning staff who started our days with bright smiles and expressos, and to Eleanna and Michael, our beach staff who took incredible care of us while we relaxed by the water. The level of top-tier service"

"This was a 10/10! The property is in the southwest end of the island, about a 35-40 minute drive to Naxos Town. It is on a sand and gravel road, like much of Naxos, across the street from a lovely inlet. The pool is immaculate and the pool bar is a wonderful amenity. From the moment we walked onto the property until our departure, every single staff member was pleasant and helpful. The beaches nearby- 8-10 minute walk- are gorgeous. Highly recommend Finikas!!"
