Nikos Verikokos Studios

Hora (Naxos)


Friendly Nikos maintains immaculate rooms in the heart of the old town, and is handy to everything. Some have balconies and sea views, all have little kitchenettes. It offers port pickup with prearrangement. A rooftop veranda provides further vistas.

The reception is not always staffed, though Nikos is ultra-responsive and only a phone call away.
