Hi there,
I am looking for a double room to spend 5 days or so in the summer. I have been to Naxos before and remember Ag. Prokopios was a particularly long beach, one end of which was suprisingly innaccesable (and where clothing was optional lol) and the other end was near Ag. Anna, had a bus / taxi area and a taverna. In particular, there was a bar called 'odyssea' and I stayed in a room owned by the owners of that bar, two German women. I have since lost their details and so I am looking for hotels / rooms in that same area, as close to the beach / bus / taxi etc stop as possible. I would like a range of options as I have not yet decided ether to go cheap, or expensive,
Thanks for your help

There are several contributors on Fodors.com and Lonelyplanet.com who are very informed when it comes to Naxos. I suggest you repost your questions over there.
Hi PJ,
If you decide to opt for cheap, simple accommodation, there are a couple of places that I've stayed at and would recommend in Agios Prokopios:
Hotel Agios Prokopios (www.prokopis.com) and the adjacent Hotel Dimitra.
You can read my full reviews here if you're interested:

Both of these hotels (run by the same family) are located just a few minutes walk from the beach, the bus stop and the main taxi rank in the centre of Agios Prokopios. Agia Anna is just a short walk away along the coast.
The rooms at both hotels are clean and well furnished, with kitchenettes and en-suite bathrooms. Hotel Agios Prokopios has a nice swimming pool and outdoor breakfast area.
Enjoy your trip to Naxos!

I suppose that Aghios Prokopios has changed a lot, since your last visit there!As a spend all my summer weekends to Naxos, I can assure you that:
a)There are plenty of hotels and rooms to let that cater to all budgets
b)There is a plethora of tavernas and restaurants to choose from
c)During the "high season", there is a bus every quarter (from 08.00 in the morning till 02.00 the next morning) that connects Aghios Prokopios to the Town of Naxos and practically, everything is close to the bus stop (last year the bus ticket costed EUR 1,20)
d)certainly, there is no shortage of taxis! (Naxos-Aghios Prokopios: EUR 7,00, last year).
A website that I can recommend you is the following:

You do not "reveal" your nationality!!! If you do not come from an English-speaking country, I could provide you with more information, mostly in German, but also in French and Italian.
I am sure you will fall in love with Naxos again!
Thanks to everyone that has replied, hostel bookers looks like a brilliant find!
The Venetian castle is situated at the upper part of the town of Naxos. The castle is a medieavl city which includes a complex of houses and some towers. In some of them some venetians catholics still live. It s the most nice location to enjoy the sunset.
Agia Anna is a resort situated 8 km south of Naxos town. It s the most known touristic sandy beach of Naxos, with very clear water but very crowed all hours during the summer. There are also many restaurants, taverns, and beach cafes and clubs, along the beach and at general area of Agia Anna. Windsurfing and other water sports are available on the beach.
Make sure you don't have huge and heavy bags with you because you will probably have trouble carrying them at the boat, maybe pay more at the taxi...and lets hope that you won't have to carry them on foot. Bring with you something warm for the nights. The nights on the island can get quite chilly specially because of the humidity. If there is a special medication you are using make sure you take enough for the whole holidays because some medications can't be provided from the pharmacies without a Naxos doctors prescription which are not easy to get. Make sure you have a digital camera with you and enough memory cards, printing pictures in Naxos is a little bit expensive. Let see....for sure you will need Sun Cream, Mosquito Repellent and if i were you....i would also take with me a snorkel. If you are coming from countries with different electricity supplying make sure you are taking with you an adapter. Greece has 220 Volts.
If you are a internet fan like myself, you should consider taking your laptop with you since most hotels provide WiFi (Wireless Internet) nowadays.
If you don't ride scooters and you don't want to rent a car, bus is the perfect solution in Naxos. They are well organized, they take you almost all over the island and are surprisingly on time and inexpensive.
I used them a lot for mostly of my days in Naxos and had always good experience.
They depart from the port and you need to buy the tickets ahead of time at the ticket's office before you board.
Their site is very informative and lists all the routes and timetables.
Picantico Fast Food is a no-frills Greek fast food joint located on the sleepy main street of Agios Prokopios.
The owner sits outside attempting to entice customers in and you can see the meat cooking on the large spits just inside the entrance.
There are a row of tables out front on the quiet street, a few tables inside and a large airy dining room at the back.
I ate here twice during my visit to Naxos in May 2006. On the first occasion, I sat out front at one of the small tables by the street. On the second occasion, I ate in the large dining room which was almost empty at that time of year. On the occasion that I ate inside, I was entertained by a small white kitten that was darting around the dining room, climbing on the tables and chairs and chewing on my shoelaces!
The menu is faily limited, mainly consisting of gyros, souvlaki and other grilled meat dishes. For example, there is chicken gyros, pork gyros, lamb gyros, chicken and pork souvlaki. These are served with a choice of pitta breads, salads and french fries. I opted (on both occasions) for:
Chicken souvlaki - Cost: 6 Euros
3 skewers of tender, well-cooked, tasty chicken served with pitta breads, french fries, tzatziki, tomato and onions. The waiter saw me cutting the meat off the skewers with my knife and did a little mime (of picking up a skewer and tearing the meat off with his teeth) to indicate that I was eating it wrong! I didn't dare to pick my cutlery up again after that! ;-)
Alfa beer (500ml bottle) - Cost: 2.50 Euros
Good value gyros and souvlaki in the peaceful beach resort of Agios Prokopios.
