Our iPhone app now available!

 
Faithful to our promise, last week we uploaded to iTunes store our iPhone application, Naxos-Apartments! Since yesterday, the app is available for free to download!

As a Naxos guide, it provides the useful info on how to come to Naxos, where to stay, where to eat and what to do and see - all info available with maps and routing, so a very handy tool when you are on the spot and need to find your way across the biggest island of the Cyclades.

A series of photos reveal the beauties of the places we recommend and you can have direct access to important service providers, such as ferries, rent-a-car, restaurants, activities and first aid.

And a whole section devoted to Athens, the new - old European hot spot for city travelers! What else would you want?

 Don't hesitate to contact us with ideas and suggestions, and last but not least, do rate our application at iTunes store!


The application is in German, but in the very near future it will also be available in English.We keep our promises.

Greetings from Naxos!

Testing our new Naxos Apartments / guide application

Well, we are vigorously going on developing our naxos-apartments smartphone application!

The application, like our website, provides access to booking with one of our partners on the island and offers a variety of tourist information on how to access Naxos, what to do and what to see on the island.

All accommodation, rent a car, attractions etc are accompanied with text and photos and most importantly are tagged on google maps so you can find your way when on the island.

In addition we have an RSS feed to this very blog so you will always get the latest news on offers, events, activities and whatever!

We shall keep you posted! We expect it to be available in itunes store in June 2014.

Time to book your summer holiday 2013 to Naxos!

Christmas holidays are well behind us by now and winter is at its peak - well, depending on whether you are at the moment in sunny southern Greece or in the north of Europe...

In any case, it is the perfect moment to look back at photos and videos from our past holidays and plan ahead!

Here is a kick start, watch our last video on YouTube - and then drop by Naxos Apartments and surf through our variety of offers. Whether you want to have a luxurious holiday or an active one or a relaxing one, you will definitely find something among hotels, apartments and studios at all the most popular beaches of Naxos. For those seeking luxury and high end relaxation:

• Michalis Studios near Naxos town underwent an extensive refurbishment and they now added to their facilities a well equipped spa and health-club! 
• Naxos Island Hotel, a brand new 5stars' hotel at the beach of Agios Prokopios, provides health spa, and gym among other facilities - and a hairdresser salon!

Feel free to contact us at  kontakt@naxos-apartments.de or through our contact form 

PS1. Olympic Airways published their flight schedule in November (98 euros Athens to Naxos, 80 euros Naxos to Athens). Book well in advance, because the planes are small. 

PS2. Ferries' schedules (Piraeus - Naxos) are not yet available, but experience tells us that there will be at least 2 Blue Star ferries departing daily, one around 07.00 and one around 17.00. The High Speed ferries also depart around 07.00-07.30 in the mornings and around 17.00 in the afternoons, but last summer 2012  were not sailing daily. We shall have to wait until Easter I guess before we find out their exact schedules, and will let you know, but the above can serve as a guideline when booking your flight to Athens. 

Hot offers on Naxos hotels, apartments & studios for 2013

Writing this post at 35 degrees is no fun, I assure you, but I can't wait any longer for a summary of next season's offers! We already updated prices for 2013 on our website and here are the hot news:

And last, but not least, we have a new suggestion on how to optimize your holiday in Greece. From most major European cities you can  fly directly to Santorini and then take one of the numerous daily ferries or speed boats to Naxos. To enjoy the breathtaking Santorini landscape we recommend renting a cave house at Ambelia Villas, in the traditional settlement of Finikia (800 m. from Oia). Santorini is one of the top-10 islands in the world, a must-see at least once in a lifetime. Don't miss the opportunity.

Book your tickets now!

Well, after some time -and quite a few malfunctions of Olympic Air site- the summer flight schedule has been published and you can at last book your tickets to and from Naxos.
But hurry up, as you know, the planes are really small

As for the ferries, it seems that unfortunately this year High Speed ferries will not fully operate until mid June, leaving Blue Star Ferries dominating the market with their brand new vessel, Delos. At least, correct me if my memory fails me, tickets are still at the same price as last year - but Blue Stars have decreased their sailing speed in order to save money on petrol.

Check the schedules on our travel section, but do come back later in spring or visit directly the companies' websites, Greek ferries' schedules are often... a work in progress.

Wie komme ich nach Naxos

Leider sind auch dieses Jahr die verantwortlichen Unternehmen wie Hellenic Seaways oder Olympic Air nicht in der Lage die Fahr- bzw. Flugpläne anzubieten. Bis heute gibt es keine Auskunft für unsere Naxos Gäste. Dies ist sehr schade, denn schließlich möchte man wissen, wie man von Athen nach Naxos kommt.
Wir werden natürlich alle unsere Urlaubsgäste umgehend informieren, sobald es diese Informationen gibt.
Selbstverständlich werden wir dies auch auf unserer Homepage
veröffentlichen.
