The Ammothines translates as ‘dunes,’ and is named in honour of the soft golden sands of Plaka Beach, which this family-run hotel overlooks. The property has been crafted from local materials, particularly Naxos marble and the traditional Greek architecture has been given a minimalist update. The neutral décor focuses on soft white, cream, and oatmeal hues, which set against the warm woods of the furnishings, create a soothing ambience. The family-run team are friendly, organised, and efficient and the personal service adds to the home away from home vibe.

Breakfast is included and served on the terrace, with food inspired by the family’s Turkish heritage, so expect delicious spinach and feta pies, rice pudding topped with honey and nuts and eggs prepared to order. While there is no restaurant, Ammothines does have an evolving snack menu and there are several local restaurants within walking distance.
The large L-shaped pool, lined with stylish loungers overlooks the beach and the hotel provides pool and beach towels. There is also a discount for hotel guests booking the serviced cabanas and sunbeds on Plaka Beach itself.
While there are restaurants within walking distance, we would recommend a car to explore more of the delights of Naxos. These include the town of Chora, the mountain village of Apeiranthos and the lively resort of Agios Prokopios.
