Welcome on the Website of the Hotel Dilino on Naxos

Hotel Dilino (Dilino is the greek word to name the beautiful orange coloured horizon during sunset on sea) lies very calm and quiet in the middle of a hill in a small but beautiful garden viewing southwest to the sandy beach of Agios Prokopios which is about 300 m away. The village nearby (also named like the beach: Agios Prokopios) is situated approximately 4 km south of Naxos-Town. There are shops and tavernas which also could be reached in about 300 m. A bus stop is close to the hotel (150 m) and offers the possibility to go other beaches or to Naxos-Town.
	The Dilino was built in 1994 with 21 studios/appartments. It is run by the young greek owners (english spoken) in a attentively, friendly and warm-hearted manner. In the main building there are the reception with fax service and access possibility to the internet/eMail. Also there are the bar with an open fire and satellite TV as well as the big porch. The studios/appartments are all situated in a conterminal building. (Details about rooms see Rooms)
The Island of Naxos
When arriving at the port of Naxos-Town (greek: Naxos-Chora) by boat one can see white cubic encapsulated houses on a hill reaching up to a venetian castle: Cycladic architecture par excellence!
	On the horizon a chain of wild, brown mountains climbing up to a heigth of 1,000 m in only about 5 to 7 km distance from the sea! Naxos not only is the biggest and most mountainous island of the Cyclades. This montains catch the clouds and rain will fall mostly in winter and mainly in the highlands between mount Zeus (1,001 m - the highest mountain of the Cyclades) and mount Koronos (997m) and irrigate the valleys surrounding Naxos-Town. Therefore Naxos also is the most fertile island of the Cyclades which gives it a piece of independence from the mainland.
Naxos offers a lot of hiking possiblities (like the ascension to mount Zeus with its beautiful views all over the island and the surrounding Aegean Sea) but also marvelous and long white and sandy beaches with crystall-clear water situated south of the main town. ( See Impressions )
