The location near the gorgeous beach. The easy walk to great restaurants with beach views. Even a mini market within walking distance. The unbelievable view from the porch of our room. The covered porch itself gave the room lots of seating options. The room was layed out well. Also the drying rack outside was so very helpful with wet swim suits & beach towels!

Only little things. The bathroom had a wired layout. I wished the shower space was smaller so there was more vanity space at the sink. The big kitchen sink helped! Also wished there were more hooks to hang towels in the bathroom.

The Thalassa Naxos is a small, cozy hotel overlooking the sea and a beautifully landscaped garden. The hotel is very tastefully decorated. In my opinion, the sculptures, lamps and paintings are the work of the hotel owners or local artists, as it is a very integrated and uniformly furnished hotel that makes you feel at home. The breakfast is excellent, but unfortunately my wife and I found out too late that you can also have dinner at the hotel. The hotel's culinary offering is also special and consists of fresh fish and seafood (they have their own fisherman) and vegetables from their own garden. In addition to the dishes on the permanent menu, there are also many daily specials. We tried tarama, a Greek dish with cured eggs from carp fish, which was simply outstanding. There are many local white and red wines on offer. In short, it's a great hotel in a quiet location, away from the tourist crowds, but close to exceptional beaches and the Ride with the Gods windsurfing center.

Everything! The property itself is super tastefully done, very well maintained and clean. The apartment I booked was large with awesome views to sea. I really loved that for my entire stay I heard were mostly waves, as it is located in a very peaceful village, not many cars or people around. You do need a car to get around, but most places you will want to be are a 20 min drive away. But the thing I liked most were the owners and hosts! Pavlos, Fotis and Thanos really made my stay great! They are super friendly and welcoming, it really does show they care about their place and the people that stay with them. They had awesome recommendations about things to visit, beaches to go to and restaurants to eat at. Found some hidden gems through them and it made my stay in Naxos much better. Last but not least: their restaurant! I really recommend not to miss having dinners at their place. Fotis is a great cook and I think I had some of the best meals on the entire island at them. And he has a very diverse menu, he will sit you with and explain with patience the dishes and make recommendations based on your preferences.

Nothing.

This is a wonderful boutique accommodation right next to a quiet beach. Our room was spacious and had its own balcony. The surrounding area is very quiet which, together with the wooden window shutters, made for a great night's sleep. For early mornings, the room is equipped with a Nespresso machine. All interiors are beautifully designed with many individual touches. This was only topped by the extremely personable staff which made us feel right at home. Even compared to the already famed hospitality of the Cyclades, everyone at Thalassa was truly outstanding. And should you need more than a friendly chat, they will happily provide you with recommendations for the island, parasols, beach towels, whatever you require. The hotel's restaurant deserves a special shout-out. It isn't a restaurant so much as a personalized dining experience. Once you have taken your seat, the chef pulls up a chair to explain what he has on hand at the moment and discuss your preferences. What follows is a wonderful selection of homemade dishes to enjoy in the evening breeze on the hotel's terrace. From talking to the chef, they purposefully do not advertise the restaurant in order to keep their quality of food and service high. Dining here thus feels very intimate. Overall, our entire stay felt more like staying with friends or family than being hotel guests. When we eventually had to leave, we took an Aegean flight. Browsing through the Naxos special in their in-flight magazine, we weren't even surprised to find a glowing review of Thalassa's restaurant. We can highly recommend this accommodation for a quiet and individual stay on an already beautiful island.

This isn't the accommodation's responsibility, but if you intend to get to/from Naxos to Kastraki using the public bus, be aware that it only runs four times daily and only between approximately 11am and 5pm. Having said that, this is a very walkable area and the hotel is, of course, also happy to book you a Taxi, if needed.

The hotel was located close to the beach, and within a few minutes walk of two very good tavernas. The hotel restaurant was only open on one of the nights we were there, and we thought it good. The room was nicely furnished and decorated in a modern style. Overall the property met with our expectations.

Whilst the terrace outside was spacious and offered a good view the furniture could have been better. The seating was less than comfortable. Provision of a simple table and chairs would be beneficial.

When my partner and I chose to say at Thalassa Naxos we didn't know what to expect so it was a very pleasant surprise when it ended up being the best accomodation we've ever stayed in! I don't typically write reviews for accom but this place truly was amazing. It's 25 minute drive from the town which we loved as it was right on the water and incredibly quiet. The room was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed including a coffee machine, tea bags etc. The hosts are what made it though! Pavlos and Foti were such beautiful people and very great at what they do,. We had the BEST Greek food we've ever had at Thalassa Naxos. We ate at the restaurant twice and every time it was incredible. We even stayed up with Fotis having a cocktail and chatting about life! This place is such a hidden gem and we will definitely be coming back next year to stay for longer. Thank you so much for such a beautiful holiday!

That we had to leave!

Excellent short vacations in a fantastic small hotel by the sea. Thalassa is located in a quiet though vivid area of Naxos at Kastraki beach. Right by the sea you can walk a hundred meters and discover one of the most unspoiled and remoted beaches of Naxos island. Our room had a fantastic view to the sea, was simple but very tastefully decorated and the hosts were experienced, friendly and gentle. Breakfast ala cart and dinner with tasteful choices, nice garden, open spaces and surroundings of the hotel give such a positive vibe. I guess the ambience of the hotel is that gives this wonderful feeling. I would recommend this hotel for all those who want to have relaxed and enjoyable holidays at a professional level.

I wouldn't change anything

Very nice hotel, located in a relaxed area, far away from the busy villages. The hotel is located on a very big and sandy beach, with beautiful sea. The food was amazing, we had dinner a few times and we were always very happy with the proposals of Chef Fotis. Some of the rooms on the ground floor have very nice terraces!

A wardrobe would have been very helpful in the room, we ended up keeping most clothes in the suitcases.

Perfect location, peaceful and right next to an amazing beach. Carefully decorated place with very clean, comfortable rooms with many amenities. Friendly, agreeable, hospitable and experienced hosts. Also, dining there was amazing. Both the ambience and the food were excellent. Fotis is a great chef! I highly recommend this place for a special stay.

A wardrobe and a chair in the room would have been helpful.

Excellent location, fantastic sea view, crystal clear nearby sea beach, great food, and super friendly hosts. The room, the facilities, and the overall hotel complex are awesome, with great aesthetics. Great thanks to Pavlo and Foti for being superb hosts! Special thanks to Foti for creating great food and an unforgettable culinary experience.

It's hard to find negative experiences! I didn't like staying for only one week! I could stay for months!
