Hotel Galini

Hora (Naxos)


A nautical theme lends this superfriendly, family-run place loads of character. Updated, spacious rooms have small balconies, plus some rooms have creative decor fashioned from seashells and driftwood. The location is first rate – close to the old town and the beach – and the breakfast is hearty. Prices drop significantly outside high season.
