Stelida, Naxos – Where Timeless Traces meet Modern Comfort
With its feet in the shimmering blue of the Aegean Sea, Stelida Hill offers a rare combination: ancient history, understated luxury, and peaceful privacy — all just minutes away from the island’s main attractions.
Long before Stelida became a quiet retreat, it was a place of movement and meaning. Archaeological discoveries here date back over 200,000 years, making it one of the earliest known sites of human activity in the Cyclades. The flint tools and ancient quarries hidden in its rocky slopes speak of a distant past, giving the landscape a sense of quiet significance.
Today, Stelida is known for something very different: a refined, residential atmosphere with villas and guesthouses that blend into the natural surroundings. Upscale yet unpretentious, Villa Almiriki offer sea views, a private pool, and easy access to some of the island’s best beaches — including Agios Prokopios around the corner and Agia Anna.
Despite its tranquil setting, Stelida is incredibly well located. Just a short drive or a longer beach walk takes you to Naxos Town (Chora), the island’s bustling port and cultural heart. Restaurants, shops, archaeological sites, and cafés are all within easy reach.
Whether you’re interested in exploring ancient history, enjoying the calm of your own private terrace and pool, or simply staying somewhere that’s both connected and serene, Stelida makes a lasting impression. It’s a place where the past and present meet —quietly, beautifully, and just off the beaten path.
