Authenticity

Location

Set on the beach of Agios Georgios, adjacent to the main town, Ippokampos Beachfront Hotel has an ideal location. You can roll right out of your room and onto the sand with beach chairs. The area is perfect for families, with the town's restaurants and shops approximately a 10-minute walk away. The hotel is also close to the Temple of Apollo and the Temple of Dionysus, both popular historical sites on Naxos Island.

Amenities

Though the hotel doesn't have a pool or spa, guests can access a beachfront lounge at the hotel's entrance, with couches to relax on while enjoying the views.
