Top Naxos Day Trips

This is an AWESOME experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a bit of activity while taking in the stunning natural beauty (water and cliffs) of Naxos. It is not too strenuous for somebody with an average fitness level. We are a family of three females (13years, 21 years, and 60 years), and it was a very relaxing experience. Kayaking takes about 45 mins for the first stretch to the cave. Then 20 mins to a private pebble beach, then it felt like less than an hour back, despite some headwinds, but they took a straighter path back than on the way there, when we kayaked along the shorelines. The snack at the cave was delicious (fresh, juicy, sweet fruits and Greek sesame bar with honey), and shortly after we had lunch (with choices for vegetarians and vegans) at the pebble beach. The lunch was OUTSTANDING. Fresh sourdough bread, hard-boiled eggs, Greek salad (organic tomatoes -sweet and flavroful, cucumber, cheese, capers, onions) plus some meat (don't know what it was; I am vegetarian). They even served coffee afterward. Manolo (owner) and his staff are super friendly, provide great training so everyone feels safe and quickly knows how to most efficiently kayak. They timed every stop so that we were even at the cave in the end alone! And at the pebble beach, we were also the only tour. It was amazing, relaxed, fun (yes, Manolo, your jokes are funny!) and informative (Manolo talked about surrounding islands and some history for those who were interested). They provided long-sleeve shirts, a hat, and water shoes for everyone. That turned out to be so good to have to avoid burning while kayaking and being blinded by the sun. And they even brought snorkeling gear for everyone. This has been one of the best tours I have ever taken, and I have done many in my life in many countries. HIGHLY recommend this tour!
