Archetypo’s private villa was the perfect 25th anniversary present for my wife and I to experience Naxos. A family run business, their wonderful son George picked us up from the port and drove us to our accommodations at the edge of town. The room was so well designed and every detail was covered for our romantic getaway. From the hot tub in our room to the bicycle rides to the old city and port, we felt like every detail was thought through. The private breakfasts served in our private garden each morning was the perfect touch. I’d give our hosts 10 stars if I could and would say our stay at Archetypo was much more enjoyable than our stay at the Ritz in Istanbul. Thank you so much for your kind and generous hospitality and we look forward to our next stay with you in Naxos! One thing to note, if you want to rent a car (and they have them for rent on the premises), you will need to get an international drivers’ permit in advance. If you are coming from the US, you can get one from AAA but it takes a few weeks. Nonetheless, our hosts recommended Kostas a local driver and guide at Naxos Transfer 24 that gave us a wonderful experience of this beautiful island so if you can’t drive, you have options.
