Best Hotels near Eggares Olive Oil Museum, Engares

My sister and I had a fabulous time staying at Evilion. It’s a great location, 5-15 minute walk to everything you need. And the room was great: big, beautiful, and well-maintained, with a wonderfully comfy bed (a true blessing after a long day’s hike up Mount Zas, I can tell you). The highlight, however, was the manager/owner, Nektarios. Not only did he pick us up from the port, but along the way gave us a helpful tour of the town so we knew our way around. After he showed us to our room, he brought us watermelon grown on his father’s farm, and ice cold, homemade lemonade. Wherever the fruit was from, it was delicious, and very welcome after a day of traveling. He’s of course very knowledgeable about the town and the island in general, and gave us great tips about the most interesting villages to explore and the best restaurants to eat at. He made our short stay in Naxos an absolute pleasure and we definitely hope to come back again (fingers crossed we’ll also be able to stay at the Evilion) to explore this beautiful island in a lot more depth.

This is overall a lovely hotel. We had a large room with a queen size bed that was very comfortable. The room had a nice balcony with a hot tub but there was no view. The bathroom was a good size with lots of hot water and good pressure. Breakfast was excellent. The only draw back was the location. It is not far from town but is down a road that does not have any sidewalks or lights. During the day it isn't bad but at night it was nerve wracking. The restaurants are in town and we were concerned about walking in the dark. The up side is that it is close to the beach. The staff were very helpful - especially Adele

Faultless from check in to check out. I arrived from Athens by plane and got a taxi to Home Sweet Naxos, which was just €20. On arrival I was greeted by a lovely lady on reception who gave me some water and some local Greek sweets. She informed me that the owner had decided to upgrade my apartment of which she guided the way to the room. The apartment was on the second floor (there’s no lift, but my bags weren’t overly heavy so no issue). The apartment was huge, with 2 bedrooms and another room with a sofa bed. Large living area with a massive balcony off it and a further two off the two bedrooms. Breakfast was brought to the room in the mornings at a prearranged time. On the first morning I needed to leave before 8 as I was booked on a boat excursion. Once they knew this they went out of their way to bring me breakfast for 7:20, when breakfast only starts at 8, so that I wouldn’t miss out. Breakfast was plentiful and included breads, cereal, homemade cake, coffee and juice. The day before I was due to check out I asked if it was possible for a late check out as I was catching an afternoon ferry. I wanted ti be able to go to the beach in the morning and to shower before I left. This was no problem at all and I was offered a lift down to the ferry port. I was going to have a bit of a wander beforehand so left my case and would return for it later. The owner arranged to meet me at the port with my case, so that I wouldn’t have to walk back for it. There are a couple of supermarkets nearby and the port and beaches are just a short walk away. I had the most amazing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or come and stay again. I was show nothing but kindness and generosity. Thank you so much!
