“ What an amazing find. We were collected and returned to catch our ferry. Very near the port. The room was very good with the best bathroom with a rain shower. Towels provided when we spent day on Plaka beach which was easily got to by bus from port. What sets this hotel to amazing is the fantastic breakfast with freshly home made cakes and pastries as well as hot and cold meats. The best we have ever had in Greece.

“ Stayed at the Adriani Hotel for 13 nights June/July 2018. Michalis, Irene and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel was spotless and breakfast was of a very high standard. Great location for exploring the town and island. Loved our stay here and had a wonderful holiday on Naxos. Would highly recommend this hotel.
