Escape to Paradise: Zanneta Apartments & Suites, Naxos Island

Escape to Paradise: Zanneta Apartments & Suites, Naxos Island
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because I'm about to spill the beans, the bougainvillea blossoms, and the… well, a whole lot of Naxos sunshine on Escape to Paradise: Zanneta Apartments & Suites. And let me tell you, this is not your average, run-of-the-mill hotel review. Consider this more like… my therapy session, but instead of a couch, we're on a sun-drenched terrace, and instead of a therapist, you've got me, your brutally honest travel guru.
First, the Basics (But with a Twist!)
Right, let's tick off the SEO boxes, because, hey, gotta play the game, right? We're talking Naxos Island. We're talking accessibility, safety, comfort, and a whole lotta chill. So, here we go:
- Accessibility: Okay, serious talk for a sec. I'm not in a wheelchair, but I'm always on the lookout for good accessibility. Zanneta tries. There's an elevator, which is a HUGE plus, but Greece (and islands, especially) can be tricky. I'd say check directly with the hotel about specific room accessibility if you have mobility needs before you book. Be thorough, be specific. Don't assume. That said, it is listed "Facilities for disabled guests" which is a good sign!
- Cleanliness and Safety: HUGE shoutout here. I'm a bit of a germaphobe (don't judge!), and I was IMPRESSED. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection? Double check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Triple check! You're seeing this stuff, you're knowing you're safe. They even have some new hygiene certifications. This is major peace of mind, especially now. They seem to take this seriously.
- Internet: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Praise be! And it actually works. Unlike some places where the Wi-Fi is slower than a snail on a treadmill. The Wi-Fi in public areas? Fine too. So you can upload your selfies, your Insta stories, your travel memoirs… whatever floats your digital boat! You can also use "Internet [LAN]" if you're that person.
- Rooms: The basics are covered: Air conditioning (essential!), free Wi-Fi (double essential!), a comfy bed, and a view that'll make you weep with joy. I loved the blackout curtains. I mean, I want to wake up when I NEED to. And the "socket near the bed" is a small detail, but HUGE. No more awkward contortions to charge your phone! They offer "non-smoking rooms" which is a plus, and "soundproof rooms," which, depending on your neighbors, can be a GODSEND.
Now, Let's Get Real (and a Little Messy)
Okay, now for the real stuff. Because… let's be honest, travel is rarely perfect. It's about the experience, right? So here's what I found…
The Room & That Balcony:
I got an apartment. Yes, it was an apartment, not just a room, and you absolutely MUST go for one with a balcony. And the balcony? Oh, it was a game-changer. I'm talking picture-postcard views of the Aegean Sea (those sunsets, people!), plus a little table and chairs, which made my evening wine sessions even more magical. I can't even remember if I was drinking wine, or maybe it was the local beer, but I was just…content. The room itself was nicely done too. (I'm a softie, I confess it) Comfy bed! Nice toiletries! And the best part? The fridge! Stocked with water… and possibilities.
The Pool (And the View):
Okay, the **swimming pool [outdoor]? *Stunning*. Pool with a view? Absolutely. It's got this infinity edge thing going on, which makes it look like the water just merges with the sea. I spent a large chunk of my afternoon just staring. Honestly, I'm not a "pool person" at all, but THAT view… pure bliss. It's just gorgeous. And I mean, there's a poolside bar, so you don't even have to move for your cocktail. I definitely took advantage of that fact.
The "Things to Do" (Or, How I Did Nothing and Loved It):
Look, I'm not a "go-go-go" traveler. I'm a "sit-and-stare-at-the-sea" kind of person. But even I was tempted. Honestly, the "Spa/sauna" situation was tempting, as was the "Massage." (Though I'm still kicking myself for not actually getting one.) I did have my eye on the "Fitness Center" – because, you know, balance. But, truth be told, I mostly just… relaxed. I read books. I listened to the waves. I ate way too much delicious food. And you know what? It was perfect. I explored a little here and there but it had to be on the agenda. This also means that Zanneta Apartments are perfect for families and couples who just want to lay back.
Food, Glorious Food (And Some Honest Opinions):
Okay, let's be frank: The breakfast [buffet] was good… but not life-changing. The usual stuff. But, the "A la carte in restaurant" options? I'm talking seriously good Greek food. Fresh, flavorful, and they even have a restaurant itself. I loved trying some of the local specialities. They even offer "Alternative meal arrangement" which means you can tell them what you need. The "Poolside bar" was a major win. They have "Snack bar" too. So, yeah, you're covered.
- The Drinks: Great. Cocktails, wine, whatever your poison.
- The Service: A+ for friendly.
- The "Staff trained in safety protocol": They really seemed to care, which is always reassuring.
The Downsides (Because Let's Be Real):
- Not a Hotel Chain: This is a local affair, so they don't have a 'Corporate' feel.
- Room: The views were amazing.
- The walk from town: You're a little way out.
- The Gym: I didn't make it, so I can't really comment.
- (Rambling Conclusion)
The Verdict & The "Escape to Paradise" Offer (Finally!)
Look, Escape to Paradise: Zanneta Apartments & Suites isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. It's a place where you can actually relax. It's a place where the views will steal your heart. It's a place where the staff will make you feel welcome. And in a world that's often chaotic, that's gold.

Zanneta Apartments & Suites: Naxos – The Messy, Beautiful Truth (aka My Itinerary that Might Not Stick)
Day 1: Arrival & Mild Panic (aka "Where Did I Put My Passport?!")
- 10:00 AM (ish): Arrive at Naxos Airport. The Aegean sun is already a slap in the face, in the BEST way. Immediately, I'm already convinced this trip is the best decision of my life. The airport? Tiny. The baggage carousel? Seemed to take all of two minutes. This is already winning.
- 10:30 AM: Taxi to Zanneta Apartments. Driver, a grizzled local with sunglasses permanently glued to his face, mutters something about how "the tourists are getting younger, but still get lost." I'm immediately charmed and terrified.
- 11:00 AM: Check-in at Zanneta. The lobby is breezy, white-washed perfection. The women at the front desk are an absolute delight, and I feel like I’ve come home. The apartment? Stunning. Balcony overlooking the pool. SOLD.
- 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM: Unpack, collapse on the bed, and mentally congratulate myself for booking this place. Venture out onto the balcony. Breathe. Actually, really breathe. The sea air is intoxicating. Okay, maybe this isn't so bad after all. Maybe.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at the apartment. I have bravely opted to cook for myself to start things. Okay, so I attempted a Greek salad. I underestimated the amount of olive oil. It was, shall we say, a robust experience. Half of it ended up on my shirt. Lesson learned.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Beach time! Head to Agios Prokopios beach. The sand is like powdered sugar. The water is crystal clear. Got a little too enthusiastic with the suncream situation, and now I'm sporting a magnificent tan line.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Pool lounging at Zanneta. This is the life, isn't it? Reading, sipping iced coffee, and eavesdropping on other tourists' conversations. (Shh, don't tell anyone.)
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a taverna recommended by the front desk lady. It. Was. Divine. Seriously, the grilled octopus melted in my mouth. I swear, I even cried a little bit from happiness. (Okay, maybe a lot.)
- 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Attempt to locate a bar with live music. Fail miserably. Find myself wandering the streets of Naxos Town in a glorious state of confusion. Embrace the chaos.
- 10:00 PM - Bedtime: Back to the apartment. Balcony time. Stargazing. Contemplating my existence, my sunburn, and my love for Greek food. This is it, isn't it? This is what life is all about.
Day 2: Exploring & Existential Dread (aka "Why Did I Choose This Hike?!")
- 9:00 AM: Wake up, feeling surprisingly refreshed. Breakfast on the balcony: Greek yogurt with honey and fruit. Fuel for the day.
- 10:00 AM: Rent a car. I may or may not have driven on the wrong side of the road for the first five minutes. Apologies to the bewildered scooter driver.
- 10:30 - 1:00 PM: Drive to Halki. Charming little village. Visit the Kitron distillery (the local liquor). Sampling the Kitro, of course. For "research" purposes.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch at a small taverna in Halki. Feta cheese salad, again, because, well, why not?
- 2:00 PM: Attempt a hike. I was feeling ambitious. I chose a trail. The trail chose me, and decided to make it a test of my mettle. It was HOT. The incline was brutal. I swore I saw my life flash before my eyes.
- 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Hike (or should I say crawl) up the mountain. Sweaty. Tired. Questioning all my life choices. But the view at the top? Worth it. Absolutely, undeniably worth it. Breathtaking.
- 4:30 PM: Reward myself with a gigantic ice cream cone. Multiple flavors of course.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Recover by the pool at Zanneta. Sunburnt, achy, and utterly content.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant in Naxos Town. More delicious food, more wine, and more appreciation for the simple things in life.
- 8:00 PM - Bedtime: Wander the harbor. Watch the sunset. Buy a ridiculously oversized souvenir. This might be the best trip ever.
Day 3: Beach Bliss & Melancholy (aka "Is it Time to Go Home Already?")
- 9:00 AM: Sleep in. Bliss. Another breakfast on the balcony.
- 10:00 AM - End of Day: Head to Plaka Beach. This is where the real magic happens. Soft sand, turquoise water, and the sound of the waves. Spend the entire day here. Swim, sunbathe, read a trashy novel, maybe consider a nap.
- 1.00 PM: A quick lunch at a beach taverna. Grilled octopus (again, yes) and local wine.
- 3:00 PM: Go snorkelling… The waters are so clear, and it's a whole other world down there.
- 7:00 PM: Sunset cocktails on the beach. The colours are insane. Seriously, I think I might shed a tear.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner at a fancy restaurant. Dress up a little. Feel fancy.
- 9:00 PM: Stroll through Naxos Town one last time. Buy more souvenirs. (Who am I kidding? I'll be buying more snacks later. I can feel it.)
- 10:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Pack the things I won't need to be the end of the trip.
- 11:00 PM - Bedtime: Balcony time, one last time. The sea air whispers its goodbyes. This trip is almost over. Sadness mixes with gratitude as I reflect on where I have been and what I experienced. I don't think I'm ready to go home just yet.
Day 4: Departure (aka "I'm Already Planning My Return")
- 9:00 AM: Last breakfast on the balcony. Savour it. Savour every last drop of coffee.
- 10:00 AM: Checkout
- 11:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. That grizzled driver. More grumbling. More charm.
- 12:00 PM: Flight…
- 1:00 PM: Wave goodbye to Naxos. Already dreaming of my return.
Okay, so this isn't exactly a schedule to the minute. It's a collection of memories, slightly hazy, thoroughly enjoyable. Life isn't perfect, and neither is travel. But that's precisely what makes it beautiful. Go to Naxos. Stay at Zanneta Apartments. Embrace the mess, the mistakes, and the pure joy of being alive. You won't regret it. And make sure to take lots of photos. I'm going to need some to tide me over until I can return…
