Iliada Villas

Our 5-night stay at Iliada Villas was so relaxing. It was exactly what we needed after the bustle of touring mainland Greece. For one, we parents finally got a bedroom/bathroom/balcony to ourselves upstairs while the kids had their own space downstairs. In the mornings, we filled our breakfast plates and ate on our patio overlooking the pool. The buffet usually included some kind of eggs, meat, cereal, yogurt with different toppings, fruit and sweets, plus coffee, juice and milk. Agios Prokopios beach/restaurants is a 10-15 minute walk, either through the red lakes (see Google Maps) or along the road. Walking along the road got a little dicey with cars speeding past and no sidewalks, and at night, the lake route is not lit. I'm glad we opted to stay away from town, but it may not be for everyone. The bus stop (outside Lago Mares hotel) was about 10 minutes walk along the road. Patricia was an excellent hostess and super friendly -- she reminded me of Sophia Vergara! The villa was spotless, the A/C worked great, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we'd need IF we chose to use it. The room came with plenty of towels, including wraps for the beach/pool. And having a clothes washer was a big benefit. Iliada Villas is an excellent choice for families looking to relax in an ideal setting.

We loved Iliada Villas! Wonderful location, delicious breakfasts, roomy villa with everything we needed, gorgeous view, a heavenly, refreshing pool, and friendly cats - what more could you ask? If you are staying on Naxos, this is an ideal base from which to explore the island. It's very close to the beach, but we rented a car for a few days and that allowed us to explore the interior of the island, check out other beaches (Plaka was our favorite), and drive into town to have wonderful dinners and - you really cannot miss this if you're on Naxos - climb the hill to experience sunset by the Portara. But more than anything, our experience was enhanced by true hospitality. The staff cleaned our villa to perfection each day, we set up car rental and massages without any difficulty, and since our departing ferry was not until early afternoon, we were able to lounge by the pool after checkout and swim until the last possible second, given access to a guest shower to clean up before we left. Choose Iliada Villas if you are planning to stay on Naxos. You'll be so glad you did!

WOW! This place was amazing! When we walked into our room for the first time my first impression was this place is so relaxing, clean and roomy!! Our room even had 2 baths and a kitchen! The staff was superb and quick to clean our room. Definitely revisiting this place!
