Cyano Suites, Naxos

Kimkim team favorite · 4.7 (15 reviews) · Comfort
Stylish Cycladic-style suites with views of the Temple of Apollo, private balconies, and homemade breakfast

Overview

Cyrano Suites is a small property with five suites set in a two-story building. The building is new, built in 2006 and renovated in 2017, but it fits in with the surroundings with its traditional Cycladic style with whitewashed stone walls and alcoves. You’ll find the property in the Grotta area of Naxos town, close to many of the key attractions and restaurants but far enough from the action so that it’s peaceful and quiet. Guests are also treated to stunning views of the Temple of Apollo. Amenities are a bit thin on the ground as there is no pool, spa, or gym, but the owner is friendly and attentive, and the property is also perfect for families (under 18s get to stay for free!). Some of the suites come with their own private hot tub.

Pros

  • The Cyrano Suites have incredible views of the Temple of Apollo from some of the rooms.
  • Some suites come with hot tubs.
  • The property is modern but still embodies the style of traditional Cycladic architecture.
  • Its location puts you close to the center and the sites but far enough to enjoy a peaceful and quiet stay.
  • Children under 18 get to stay for free.

Cons

  • There is not much on offer in terms of amenities.
  • There is no elevator on the property.


Authenticity

What sets Cyano Suites apart is its authenticity, as the hotel is deeply rooted in the island's culture and history. You'll wake up to breathtaking views of the Temple of Apollo from your room, which previous Kimkim travelers have highlighted as the most memorable aspect of their stay. Although it was built in 2006 and renovated in 2017, Cyrano Suites is built in a traditional whitewashed Cycladic style with stone walls and alcoves, so it blends in with its surroundings.


Location

Located just outside the center of Naxos Town, Cyano Suites offers a peaceful stay with easy access to the island's lively culture. The Portara, or Temple of Apollo, is just a 10-minute walk, as is the Venetian Castle overlooking the Chora. In the same amount of time, stroll the waterfront restaurants and shops of Naxos' port. Favorite beaches like Agia Anna and Plaka are 20-25 minutes away, while impressive sights like the fallen Faragi Kouros statue are 20 minutes away.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The hotel's five suites follow the traditional Cycladic style of whitewashed walls and simple design. All include balconies with clear views of the sea and Portara, which are perfect for watching the sunset. The Grand and Premium Suites come with an indoor hot tub, which is exposed and visible from the bed. All rooms have unique layouts, as the Grand and Junior Suites feature exposed bathtubs in the living room. If you need more space or are traveling with family, the Grand and Premium Suites include multiple sofa beds.

Amenities

Cyrano Suites' amenities are rather basic. There’s no pool, spa, gym, or parking, and no features for travelers with mobility needs (no elevator). Free WiFi is provided throughout the property, though.

Family-Friendliness

Children of all ages are welcome at the hotel, and those under 18 can even stay for free when using existing beds! Some of the larger suites are perfect for larger families, as they have multiple sofa beds. Baby cribs for infants under two can be provided for free when requested. There are no amenities for families with kids.

Other Highlights

You can enjoy Naxos' famous cuisine by trying the homemade breakfast of homemade pastries, pies, and dishes that are served at the hotel's sister property a few blocks away.

I wish I could add another star. The room was beautiful and perfectly located. There was nothing like watching the sunset from our room over Apollo’s gate and be within a five minute walk from all the restaurants and shops. The hotel has been in the same family for generations and they are always there to meet your every need.

Our room was gorgeous and unique. We took room photos to remember it always. The view was fabulous. The only problem was that we had to walk to a sister restaurant for breakfast. This hotel did not have a lobby. It was a collection of rooms in a building without a typical front and clearly marked signage.

It was hard to find our way back because it is not on a main road with typical frontage. We entered and exited through patio doors to our suite. The manager had an office at the sister hotel. We had to reach him by phone. These factors made us a bit uncomfortable because it so unusual. Knowing this now, I would not hestitate to return here. The suite was gorgeous— as was the view.

Tips for future travelers

We had a terrific dinner at Sarris Fish Tavern and a fabulous dinner at dal Professore Mediterranean Cuisine. Try to visit both! Saint George Beach was gorgeous! 20 euro to sit on the beach under an umbrella. We ordered a fabulous lunch brought to us by friendly, kind waiters. Loved it!
