Overview

Begin your journey at the stunning Pyrgaki Beach, a tranquil gem on Naxos' peaceful southwestern coast, part of the protected NATURA 2000 network. With its golden sand, azure waters, and cedar-covered sandhills, Pyrgaki sets the perfect tone for your adventure.

Following a thorough equipment check and safety briefing by your certified guide, you’ll be ready to go! You’ll be paddling a distance of about 6 km long, along Naxos’ breathtaking west coast, heading south.
Discover the beauty of Aliko, with its soft white beaches, hidden coves, shimmering, crystal-clear waters and a unique cedar forest atop soft sand dunes, creating an exotic landscape unlike any other.

As we paddle further south, the view of neighboring Cycladic islands becomes truly breathtaking. We’ll stop at a pristine, secluded beach— perfect for relaxing and recharging. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and sample delicious homemade snacks prepared by your guide, made with local Naxian seasonal ingredients. For those eager to explore further, the crystal-clear blue-green waters invite you to dive in and discover the vibrant marine life hidden below.

Our journey concludes at Agiassos Beach, one of the island’s most untouched treasures. With its 750 meters of fine golden sand and calm, cool waters, it’s a serene escape even when strong winds sweep the island. After a refreshing swim at the beautiful Agiassos Beach, we’ll drive you back to Pyrgaki, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this amazing adventure.
