Having spent our holidays at Kamari Village now for over 14 years, I guess we must like it!
Each year we find new things to do on the Island and never fail to be amazed by the warmth of the welcome.

To be fair Naxos is not the easiest place to get to from the UK, the journey can be long but pleasant if you choose Business Class on Blue Star ferries from Piraeus Port or quicker by air to Naxos by Olympic Air, if only they would publish a timetable early enough! After your journey many people want a short transfer to their accommodation; well Kamari Village is quite a drive but well worth it once you realise you have reached your own paradise. The drive itself takes you through some little villages which will become very familiar as you journey into Naxos Town from time to time.

We stay in a house (Type F) situated on a hill just above the other accommodation. Here you will find everything you require for a perfect peaceful holiday. The views are superb, and everything is spotlessly clean and the gardens well tended. The accommodation is thoughtfully designed for easy holiday life, with a selection of books, CD's ( the Hi Fi has a USB port if you want to bring your own pen drive) There are DVD's for all tastes, a superb washing machine and the glorious Greek sunshine to dry your clothes and make you smile.
A point to note that in this house the pool is about 4'8” deep all over (check with Zahia for the exact depth), so no shallow end. OK for taller people and swimmers, we take an inflatable to enjoy floating around. (These can be bought cheaply locally too)

The grounds and pool are maintained by Barbara and Tony and the house by Vasso; a formidable and discreet team who never intrude but are so lovely and friendly.
Your stay will be perfect, we know we can say that because Zahia and Kamal are total professionals who care about every aspect of Kamari Village.

Close by you will find a small Taverna (Maria and Vassilios) and mini-markets and bakery in Aliko, and Mikri Viglia. There are some great Tavernas around too, so you don’t need to journey into Naxos Town for everything. There are numerous beaches, many are clothes optional. Whether you want to soak up the suns rays or just wander along with your toes in the warm water you will not be disappointed in this part of Naxos.

At night wander onto the roof for some star gazing, the deep velvet sky will enfold you and the stars almost talk to you.
In addition to Kamari Village we have stayed in a village room, and a 4 star hotel on Naxos, you will honestly not find a better place to stay than Kamari. Its just 5 star plus for us.

I've stayed one week in Kamari village in 2bdrm/2bthrm villa with private pool & private outdoor spa-Jacuzzi (type E) and everything was totally amazing.
The house is beautiful, expecially the outdoor verandas, the jacuzzi and the swimming pool facing the sea.
There's also a roof top terrace for star and sunset watching with a confortable sofa.
The house is the typical greek one, total white and fully equipped, including stereo, dvd player, moka machine...

The on-site reference, barbara, is very kind and at your disposal for everything.

The beaches near kamari Village are the most beautiful of the island, in particular Mikri vigla and aliko.
The tavernas on the main road near kamary are very very good and really cheap...

The car is totally necessary.

I drastically suggesteveryone to go. I hope to come back soon.

In Jun 2008 we took an opportunity to travel to Santorini for our two week holiday, this in place of our usual trip to Kamari Village, Naxos. It soon became apparent that our love of Naxos was more than a passing affair; leaving our pre-paid hotel, we boarded the Blue Star ferry to have just two days on Naxos! Hiring a car we headed off through the villages for even a glimpse of Kamari Village, perhaps we would see Zahia and Kamal, perhaps Tosca, the lovely Vasso or her sister Maria in the Taverna. Truth – we saw them all and vowed to come back in 2009.

So, with so much expectation, and after a long journey we arrived on Saturday June 13th. 2009 We were greeted by Barbara, and soon we felt at home again.

Naxos is slowly changing, the shops are becoming more upmarket, the roads are better, new dirt roads have appeared linking some of the best beaches, new houses are springing up in the hills and by the sea. Still the pace of life is “easy” the people are friendly and the gentle breeze eases the heat of the beautiful sunshine.

Kamari Village also has subtle changes, new walls in places, well placed with decorative pots, and some new pools. However what has not changed is the attention to detail, the superb welcome by Zahia and Kamal, and the perfection of a holiday here.

This year our villa had the addition of a brick BBQ – which made alfresco dining even more enjoyable and what man can resist a BBQ!
Finally, as we looked out to the night sky and the millions of tiny stars we are sure one of them winked at us and said “Glad to be back?” Booked already for 2010!

With memories of a great holiday fresh in mind, we would like to express our utmost satisfaction with our recent stay in Kamari Village.

While organising the villa reservation, the information quality and communication promptness was exemplary. The reception as we arrived in Kamari Village was warm and personal. Knowing that Zahia and Kamal were around nearby throughout our stay, was very comforting.

The accommodation itself greatly surpassed our expectations with regards to facilities and location. Same goes for the beaches, tavernas and mini markets.

We were so comfortable in our villa, and the area in general, that we never got around to explore the island as much as we originally intended.

Our preferred beaches were the 2nd large Aliko cove/bay (from the south) and Glyfada. Both beaches offers as much space and privacy as one could wish for. Both beaches are also great for snorkeling.
Situated in the cedar forrest area, Aliko is the sauvage harder-to-reach beach with very few people - if any. Be sure to bring everything you need and do remember to take everything with you again when you leave to keep it as pristine as you found it ...

The main section of Glyfada beach was active with surfers so we found ourselves a more private spot a little to the south. It was so wonderfully easy to walk up to the Glyfada taverna for lunch before heading back in the afternoon to enjoy the veranda, the pool and the view.

The view from the villa changes as the day goes by and the sunsets over Paros are to die for. Stargazing on the rooftop terrace is a must.

It was a very positive surprise to experience how the tavernas and mini markets seemed to put in an extra effort to offer local and/or organic produce. We stocked up on local cheese and salami in Viglas Market in Mikri Vigla.

As already mentioned, the villas are clustered together on a hill but positioned for total privacy.
We would therefore also like to underscore that although Tony and Barbara were around in the area to maintain the pools and to look after the greenery, their pleasant personalities and "stealth" behaviour meant that we never ever felt our privacy intruded. Quite extraordinary.

All in all - value for money and balm for the soul.
