This fine example of Venetian architecture was the town’s acropolis, built during the Middle Ages. Locals still live in the mansions surrounding it.

“The pool area was lovely. It is kept beautifully clean and a lot of work has gone into developing and tending the garden. The location is great. In a quiet area but only 5 mins from the supermarket , 10 from a lovely sandy beach and about 15 mins easy walk to the centre of town. It was also very helpful to be picked up at the ferry and dropped off again at the end of our stay. Everyone from the owners down to the cleaners was very friendly.”
“Pick up at port even though very late, straight to a very comfortable quiet room. We stayed 2 more nights but had to change rooms, we found the second room lovely but noisy so on the 3rd day they rearranged things to move us back to the first room, so unexpected and thoughtful.”
“This hotel is awesome. I travel to Greece every other year and stay at places like Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens, which is part of the Starwood Luxury Collection. Lagos Mare is not that super fancy, but every bit as good and in some ways better. To be clear, this is very much a family run boutique hotel, not a chain hotel. As other reviews online say, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They really go out of their way for everyone and make your stay so nice. The big secret of this place is the food. They include an amazing breakfast with your room, so most guests don't think to stay for dinner by the pool. But IMHO their chef deserves a Micheline Star. The dinner menu is classic Naxos cuisine with a foodie twist. We had their Greek salad, moussaka, and fresh fish with Risotto - 3 times each! We only stayed in Naxos 3 nights and we didn’t even bother to go to dinner outside of the hotel because 1) the food was that good and 2) the staff is that awesome!
The rooms are very nicely furnished, the bed very comfortable and the room nicely air conditioned. My favorite touch is the Nespresso machine in the room. The pool and pool area are very nice, relaxing and convenient. The jungle gym and life size chess set on the property are big hits with the kids. The lobby has a really nice bar and living room area that is nice for doing email (wifi at the hotel is free and very fast), watching soccer matches or just reading a magazine. Did I mention the awesome full buffet breakfast each morning that is included? Fried eggs, hard boiled eggs, pain au chocolat, croissant, toast, grilled vegetables, toast, coffee, lunch meats, etc, etc.
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from a very popular beach that is lined with restaurants and cafes. It is a 10-minute drive to Plaka, which is a larger stretch of really nice beach also with tons of stores, restaurants, and cafes.
Finally, the price of the hotel is such a great value.”
“Room was great size, large bathroom! Pool was exceptionally clean & Dimitri & his family made us feel very welcome! Could not do enough for us! Will definitely come again one day!”
“We loved our stay here! We stayed in the top apartment which has an amazing balcony, really unbelievable. The balcony is huge with lots of outdoor seating and shade and we loved sitting out there and reading. It was wonderful to have a private outdoor space with a view of the ocean. It also had a clothes hanger to hang our wet towels and bathing suits which was great. This hotel is only a block from the beach. It was so convenient to walk from our hotel and we loved the beach nearby. It had lots of shallow water, open public space, and chairs that you can pay for and order drinks and food.
The inside of our room was very clean and comfortable. The beds were nice, and we really loved our bathroom which had a large bath tub and separate rainfall shower. The hotel staff came every day to clean our room which was helpful because as much as we tried to keep the sand out, it would come in but be gone after they cleaned.”
“General: Nice and clean rooms with enough space. They clean your room every day (even when its already clean from the day before ;) )
The property is also really clean and there is enough to do (sauna, swimmingpool and gym).
The staff is very helpfull and kind, they are willing to help you with every question you have.
Facilities on the room; shower, toillet,(both great) fridge, balcony, hairdryer.
Location: Great location near the beach. When going south you will run into plenty of places to eat and drink. We once walked to Hora (main capital of Naxos) and it was an hour walk. So if you are planning to visit Hora a lot of times and if you are planning to see more of tbe island.. Rent a scooter, car or whatever you feel comfortable with.
Overall: We had a perfect time staying here!! Couldn't have been better.
Thank you Hotel Katarina for the wonderful time we had staying with you!”
“We loved this place😄 from the staff ( Irini runs the front desk and is lovely with a wicked dry sense of humour) the young guy ( didn't get his name) was also lovely. The breakfast and cleaning staff were also lovely. Luisa who runs the pool bar was lovely and so good with our daughter.
We really really relaxed here and wished we had stayed longer than 5 nights.
While you won't get pampered here with 5 star luxury it is worth every cent; the lovely staff were the extra little cream on top 😀”
“If you are looking to escape from all the crowds and noise this is the perfect place to be. Beautiful Aliko Beach within 15 min walk. Comfortable room. Good breakfast. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.”
“Modern upgrades/remodel and really nice layout for a family of four- with big kids. Nice pool, walking distance to the beach and town and yet larger than we could get closer in town. Laundry service was a nice service (extra charge) and access to towels for the pool and beach were very convenient. Breakfast was also very good!”
“Very nice place to stay, very clean and well located, the owner is very friendly and helpful. From the moment you arrive the owner and staff are so hospitable! The room was cleaned daily and was spacious and airy. Just a 500m walk to the shops - not a boring walk so you won't notice. Good value for money, definetely recommended.”
