    Description

    Hello! My name is Alexandra and I live with my sweet 2 year old daughter in the peaceful seaside village of Apollonas, on the north side of Naxos island. Our home is simple, warm, and close to nature, just a few steps from the sea and surrounded by a quiet, friendly local community. We enjoy slow island living, spending time outdoors, cooking homemade meals, and keeping a calm daily rhythm. If you love the idea of experiencing authentic Greek family life in a small, beautiful village, we would be very happy to welcome you.
