The unspoilt beauty of the east coast of Naxos is preserved by a high mountain pass. Floros is very helpful in guiding you to the house, and generous with start-up supplies of food and drink, and there is a big freezer as well as everything else you need (including binoculars!). The house is in the best position to enjoy the stunning 360 degree view of the bay, headlands, islands that sometimes seem to float in the sky, typical small fields with sheep wearing bells and olive trees, and mountains at the back. The little beaches along the coast are perfect for swimming, and there are some good walks as well as some that we found impassable. There are friendly tavernas with good seafood, though not many of them, and one mini-market. You can walk into the village in about half an hour or drive in 5 min. It is true that there was often a wind but it was cooling and it did not bother us. We loved the whole trip. Get a good map before you go, not just the one from the car rental.
