Every summer the village hosts Naxos island’s largest traditional festival, or “glendi”, a three-day celebration with dancing and feasting beginning on August 15th. The village is the most populated in the Cyclades and provides all the services and amenities required by the traveler, including several small supermarkets, pharmacy, ATMs, petrol station, butcher, bakery, doctor, hairdresser, cafes and tavernas. brbrbrLovely Naxos is one of the most populated islands in the Cyclades, with a significant number of people staying on the island year-round. This means that the island does not shut down in winter, services are available throughout the year. Naxos is the largest and most fertile island in the Cyclades, with beautiful sandy beaches and pretty traditional villages. There are significant traditional festivals and cultural events of interest to the traveler which take place every year during the summer until September, including the Naxos festival, Wine Festival and Fisherman’s Festival.brbrbrIn summer Naxos is a convenient launch pad to visiting other islands, without the inconvenience of returning to Athens first. There are more than 30 islands accessible within 1-2 hours by ferry, with prices ranging from only 10-20€. Guests can also arrange for a smaller boat The stunning Small Cyclades in particular should not be missed, encompassing the charming islands of Koufonisia, Schinousa, Donoussa, and Iraklia. Naxos is still one of the more affordable of the islands, with the cost of food, drink and sunbeds generally lower than in other popular destinations in the Cyclades.brbrFamily friendlybrWe are a family friendly space and we take the safety and comfort of our little friends seriously. At our property you will find the following available on request:br- Baby bedbr- Highchairbr- Baby bathbrbrCottage guidelinesbrEvery care and effort has been made to make Almond Blossom Cottage as comfortable as possible for our guests. It has been renovated with care, utilising the highest quality materials available. We are happy to help in any way we can to make your stay memorable. All we request is that the cottage and its interiors are respected. Repairs can be challenging to organise on the islands, and prevention is better than cure.brbrbrAlmond Blossom Cottage aims to be environmentally sustainable, with solar panels for electricity and responsible sourcing of water. Please turn lights and the air conditioner off when not in use, and take the card which connects the cottage’s electricity when you go out (this will prevent the cottage catching fire in the event anything is accidently left on in the kitchen).brbrbrThe cottage has solar power and during much of the year the Cycladic sun offers all the energy needed. During the cooler months there is a hot water system which can be switched on/off when required. Water can be scarce in the Cycladic islands and we ask guests to be mindful of conserving water whenever possible.brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrAlmond Blossom Cottage Unit 1 - Enchanting newly renovated traditional stone cottage with mountain views brbrbrListing descriptionbrSituated on a hill overlooking the picturesque village of Filoti,Almond Cottage Unit 1 sits nestled quietly amongst trees and brightly coloured bougainvillea.
