Iphimedeia Apartments & Suites — Hotel in Municipality of Naxos and the Lesser Cyclades

What a great find the Iphimedeia hotel was. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome by Michalis and the team. They offered us breakfast while we were checking in, even though we were not due to check in until 2pm, and held our luggage while we enjoyed the pool as the room was being made up. The room itself was a real WOW factor. We had our own access in a stand alone building with a terrace and gorgeous hot tub. The room was exceptional clean and well maintained, no issues at all. Perfect little kitchen areas too with everything you might need. ||Breakfast is superb with lots of choice and fresh eggs made to order.The restaurant terrace area is also very pretty, we loved the mornings so much!||Mihalis helped us with so much and advised us on places of interest and restaurants. He also helped us hire a car at a very reasonable price! We liked seeing different parts of the Island each day so this was best for us, we also had a couple of days round the pool, the food and drink is very nice and reasonable prices. The location is tucked away off the main road, but for us, this was even better! Gave it a real secluded feel but still being close enough to town and beaches. The walk along the beach to the town is also lovely and gives you a chance to see the different spots to eat etc. ||This was our first time in Naxos, having grown a little bored of Mykonos' ever increasing prices. We were worried to try something different as we are big Mykonos fans, but we were not disappointed. The Island is gorgeous, we drove through the mountains and visited beautiful villages with pretty flowery lanes lined with small bars and coffee shops, then to a beautiful beach on the other side, with a fantastic restaurant with the most amazing seafood. Naxos town was also gorgeous, much like Mykonos in looks, not as wild but still very atmospheric, and a LOT cheaper!||We made a great friend in Mihalis, and would recommend the hotel over and over again. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children. Also to point out there were a few other families with kids there so there were no issues for the kids playing in the pool...

We stayed here for 3 nights for the duration of our stay on beautiful Naxos. The hotel is off this dirt road off the main strip into Chora. It feels a bit out in nowhere/boonies so as other reviewers have indicated, having a car is a must. The grounds are beautifully kept up with a nice pool area, with open air dining area along with an indoor area where I believe their breakfast is served. We did not opt in for the breakfast option. The staff was very friendly from check-in - I wished we still remembered her name who checked us in. She was able to arrange for our rental car which was reserved in Naxos airport to be dropped off at the hotel (tip: taxi fare on this island is exorbitant). They had complimentary drinks while we waited for our room to be ready and on the way up to the room, my wife slipped on the wet floor and shattered her drink and they brought up another drink at no extra charge. ||As for our unit, we were in the upstairs unit #3. It had a huge wraparound deck that provided a view over the pool/grounds, and facing west affording amazing sunset views every night. The unit was very roomy with a large kitchen, dining room, and living room. Each of the 2 bedrooms had their own decks as well. The kitchen was a full size kitchen with all the equipment you'd expect in a fully functioning kitchen, except unlike some of our other lodging, this place had no cooking supplies such as cooking oil, condiments, etc. And while there was also a washing machine, they provided no detergent. Trying to buy 3 days worth of detergent wasn't possible. I felt this was something the hotel can provide at minimal cost to them for a huge benefit to the guests. As for the rest of the unit, beds were comfortable, AC very strong with free/ample parking. The little shortcomings above don't impact our review and was still one of our favorite lodgings on our trip.||Tip: airport is literally 1 minute away and it's basically 1 large room. There is absolutely no reason to get to the airport more than 45 minutes before your scheduled flight. Yes there is security and the liquids restriction...

I stayed at the Iphimedeia apartments with my family. Wow, what a great property and experience. Let me start with the accommodations: very nice, new, clean and well appointed suite with 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and dining area. The owners of this place pay attention to details and design, the place was very comfortable. The property is really cool: there is a huge pool and patio area with plenty of lounge chairs, large shaded area with tables, all very nicely designed. There is an indoor area as well, but it’s open to the patio and pool area. This is where the delicious breakfast buffet was served every morning. (An amazing selection of breads, eggs, fruits, etc etc. ). The patio area is looking over olive trees and a small vineyard of grapes which are all part of the property and fig trees are on the other side of the property. We were served fresh figs from their trees - very nice! Ok, and now for the best part of Iphimedeia, the excellent service and friendliness. Micheal (maybe in Greek Michaelis .. that’s my best try) is the manager and from the minute we stepped on the property he was always greeting us with a big smile and making sure we were enjoying our stay, answering any questions we had and providing us with information about what to see and where to go in Naxos. The others on the staff are also super friendly. It’s always refreshing to experience a management team that takes great pride in providing top...
