Xenia Hotel

Hora (Naxos)


Sleek and minimalist, this hotel is in the heart of the action in the old town, close to everything, and the staff are attentive. While the neutral tones and blonde-wood furnishings are not exactly unique, balconies overlook the old town and thick glass keeps the noise out. Superb central location. Restaurants and cafes are right outside the front door.
