Overview

Our adventure begins at the small beach of Agios Giannides on the west coast of Naxos. Before departure, your guide will conduct a full equipment check and provide a clear, comprehensive safety briefing.

We will then set off on an exciting 9 km sea kayaking journey along Naxos’ beautiful western coastline. As we paddle out of the sheltered cove, we’ll see the impressive Portara, the iconic 6th-century landmark and symbol of the island, while learning about the fascinating myths connected to it. We’ll continue past the white and blue houses of the Grotta area, built on the cliffside, and hear stories about Naxos’ Venetian past and its historic castle town.

Paddling through crystal-clear, blue-green waters, we’ll explore hidden coves, quiet beaches, and striking rock formations. Throughout the tour, we'll enjoy wide open views of the nearby Northern Cyclades, creating a truly memorable Aegean experience.

Midway through the tour, we'll stop at a peaceful, secluded beach where you can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Your guide will prepare homemade snacks, giving you a taste of authentic Naxian flavors and local delicacies. Take your time to swim in the clear waters or simply relax on the beach.

During the tour, our certified guides will enrich your experience by sharing their expertise on the region’s geography, geology, wildlife, and unique local insights.

The tour ends at Amitis Beach, a quiet and unspoiled spot on the western side of Naxos. With its soft sand, small pebbles, and clear waters, it is the perfect place to experience an epic sea kayaking adventure full of nature, culture, and discovery.
