Things to do in Naxos, South Aegean: The Best Outdoor Activities
A spot of white in the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, the island of Naxos is a unique blend of ancient ruins and beach culture. The largest of the Cycladic Islands, Naxos is the childhood home of none other than Zeus, king of the gods. Upon arrival in Naxos, hike over a causeway to Palatia, where the Portara, a stone gateway to an ancient temple that no longer exists, stands alone, the symbol of the island. At sunset, the views of the island, and the sea beyond, are breathtaking.

Car/ATV/Scooter rental 101 in Naxos MotoLand 1. Located on the south side of Naxos conveniently on the route from St. Vlassis hotel to the port downtown. 2. Exceptional staff with great English, wonderful charm, and outstanding customer service. 3. Affordable: we rented 300cc engine ATV for 24 hours costing 33 Euros. They rent scooters, ATV, dune buggy, and cars too. (You really only need 300cc engine for 2 people - they rent smaller and larger engines for less or more cost respectively) 4. Helmets included. 5. You may have to go buy gas in town, but it is relatively easy to find a gas station and fill up - as of 6/2017 full tank of gas was 17€ at 1.77€/Liter. 6. Safety: in general you are safe (wear a helmet!!!) -typical speed limits 30-50 km/hr (18-30mph) -same traffic pattern as the US -not many 1-way roads, frequent round abouts, and sparse road signs -I would recommend pulling over to let cars pass you if you rent an ATV Renting an ATV is an outstanding and adventurous way to explore the island while staying cool! Have fun!

We spent great time in Agia Anna beach. My children felt in love with thearea and our apartment in Naxian Breeze. We stayed only a few meters from this wonderful sandy beach and this was very helpful and comfortable, There are many greek taverns with great greek plates to try. There are also many beach bars where you can enjoy your coctail, breakfast or meal. One of the best hlidays so far!!
