The sheets and towels are changed every day, I was very impressed with the cleaning.
Breakfast is incredible, even though we were staying a long time we were never bored with it. Each day there are different home made goodies to enjoy. You will never be hungry staying here.
The location is on the quiet end of Plaka beach, around 10 minutes walk from the end of the bus route to Chora and a small supermarket. The bus takes 40 minutes to reach Chora and costs 2.80 Euros. There are a lot of restaurants within a short walk; if you don't mind walking further there are dozens to choose from too.
The beach is 2 mins walk from the hotel, you will be able to see the sea from your room. It is a long, sandy, shallow beach very good for swimming and sunbathing. You can choose to wear clothes on the beach or not, no one will care either way.
We would definitely stay here again if we return to Naxos.
Also close to numerous restaurants and bars.
Our room was always spotless and with daily change of sheets and towels.
The breakfast was excellent as it was based on fresh and typical products, from yoghurt, to different sweets and savory pies every morning, fruit, bread, jam, eggs in all ways, fresh orange juice and more.
However, the real difference is made by Mario who welcomed us with sympathy and kindness, giving us lots of useful advice, helping us with transfers and motorbike rental, always available for our every request in front of an excellent glass of his wine.




I have stayed a few times, so experienced more than one of the suites. They are each perceptibly individually designed and crafted. The beds are comfortable and all facilities you need are here. If you enjoy to relax and listen to the sea at night, make sure you have a room with a balcony, or you can just make the short walk to the beach and enjoy.
The beach is one of the nicest I’ve experienced in Greece, long and sandy with no awkward pebbled or rocks. It is 100m, maybe 3 minutes walk away.
Breakfast is provided by the family. Fresh and delicious with plenty to keep you going all day, or at least until you next crave some Greek cuisine.
To eat, you will be able to find a number of traditional tavernas along the beach, ranging from 5 to 35 minutes walk from the hotel. Marios will provide a comprehensive guide to help you choose.
If you want to stray further, a bus is available nearby to take you to the main town where there are few important, significant sights and places to eat/drink. Or you can plan to hire a car from the port, the airport or delivered to the hotel and explore further out into the island.



Even as lovely as the accommodations were, the service was even better. The owner, Marios, could not have done more to ensure we had an amazing stay. His personal touch to each detail of the hotel and his welcoming nature made us feel right at home. I absolutely could not write a review without mentioning Cristos, who was an integral part of the team, and our wonderful stay at Island Escape. As an added bonus, Marios' cat, Grinyaris, makes frequent appearances in the outdoor areas and loves scratches behind the ears.
The hotel's location is ideal, less than a leisurely 5 minute stroll to beautiful Plaka beach, where you are treated to some of the most beautifully clear turquoise waters in the world. This beach is also uniquely sandy, unlike some of it's rockier counterparts elsewhere on Naxos.
While there is currently no dining option for dinner at Island Escape, as mentioned before, breakfast is top rate. You are able to choose from several egg dishes, and we were also served "vegetable pie", fresh bread with jams and butter, some sort of sweet, fruit salad, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a coffee drink every morning. Other guests chose yogurt, etc. Again, Marios and team were more than accommodating for a variety of tastes and dietary limitations.
Island Escape also has a beautiful bar area that serves a variety of wines and beer. If you are interested in staying in the immediate area for dinner, you can walk less than 500 m down the road to several restaurant options.
Another exceptionally positive feature of this hotel was the air conditioning. As odd as that may sound, we were in Greece during an unprecedented heat wave, with daily temperatures often hitting at least 40 C, so air conditioning was a must! Several of the other hotels we stayed at while in Greece simply did not cool the room adequately, but the A/C at Island Escape was blessedly powerful!
In terms of COVID considerations, the design of the hotel is such that there are no common spaces indoors. Each room opens to the outside with very minimal "crossover space" with other rooms. The only real common space was the area where we were served breakfast, which also served as the bar area in the evening, but this was open air and allowed for ample social distancing.
I truly cannot say enough good things about our stay here and would whole-heartedly encourage anyone to visit Marios and team at his little piece of paradise!


The owner Marios and his team are working hard to ensure your stay will be perfect. You can ask him where to go or what to visit he is always there.
The proposed breakfast every morning is the sole food and beverage proposal and is amazing in terms of choice. It can be a little bit long in the morning but the reason for this is that all is made “a la minute” eggs fruit etc…
The rooms are not huge in terms of space if you are three - if so take a Suite. For two it is perfect and decorated with a real taste.
The rooms are super clean and the cleaning service really a quality one - bed sheets are changed every day. Wifi works well and important the beds mattress are perfect 👍!
At the end after a couple of days you will be “enveloped” with / by the Mediterranean vibes that this place is creating. You will leave in a peaceful way.
Again, don’t hesitate if you want a place where you will find an owner who loves his guests and its work spreading always an ambiance that will ensure you with no doubts great holidays !
Mario’s merci beaucoup, see you soon. Alexis de Gallos






Marios helped us find a car to rent in Naxos and the car was waiting for us at the port..easy peasy. He also showed us different routes to tour everyday from the secluded cove beaches, to the mountain villages. We were there in mid April when the winds and water was still cold. he suggested we go yo a beach protected by coves so we wouldnt feel the wind chill, and this workrd perfectly for our sunbathing. His restaurant recommendations were on point-- we got to try excellent seafood in Chora, and fresh locally sourced meat in the mountain village.
The rooms were cleaned and well maintained. Marios puts his heart and soul into his family business and is always there available to serve and help in anyway he can. We enjoyed all the information he gave us about the island and its history and economy.
if you want a personalized stay, with great Greek hospitality, and to be felt cared for and looked after as a special guest, look no further!
