The most popular sport in Naxos is windsurfing.
Because of the wind of the Aegean Sea (5 - 6 beaufort
and sometimes even 7 beaufort in summer), this
activity is a pleasant experience for them who
dare to try it. Amity and Aliko beach are very
good for wave, while the best beaches for slalom
and wind are St. George, St. Prokopios, St. Anna,
Vigla and Pyrgaki.

For the people
that they want also to make sport or keep themselves
fit during their holidays, Naxos can offer a variety
of sport activities. There are two 5x5 football
courts, where sometimes small championships are
organized or you can play with your friends. In
some beaches of Naxos such as St. George, St.
Prokopios (one of the best beaches in Europe,
two successive years in the top five) and St.
Anna there are sport and entertainment centres,
where you can play beach volley, canoe and water
ski. If you love riding, there are a lot of beautiful
horses for crossing over the sandy beaches under
the Cycladic sun and the view of the sea. You
can also participate in the bike tours around
the island. You get all the equipment you need
and an experienced driver, who will guide you.

If you go on holidays not only
for relaxation, but also for exploring the island,
you should take a full advantage of it. Naxos
has a plenty of beautiful routes (on foot or by
car), where you can explore caves (most famous
is that of Za), ancient temples, Byzantine churches,
castles, which they wait for you to explore them
and you might also discover something (not so
improbable with the history this place has). We
recommend the two tracking routes Apiranthos
- Fanariotissa - Moni - Panagia Drossiani
and Melanes
- Kalamitsia - Kouros - Kournohori.
Naxos - Excursions byca, bus, motobike. In addition
to the above, it would be nice if you could visit
some of the villages of Naxos. This tour can be
made by car or by bus, through a travel agency.
One of the day excursions are Naxos
- Apeiranthos (27km) - Koronos. Koronis. Komiaki
(39km) Apollonas (40km) and Naxos
- Chalki - Sagkri - Alyko - Pyrgaki
