Naxos offers many possibilites for acitivities, though mostly they take place in Naxos-Town. Naxos is famous for the windsurfing conditions – due to the constant north wind in summer Naxos is one of the windsurfing capitals of Europe. You can also participate in sailing tours or go diving. For children the AquaFun-Park with water slides and swimming pools is attractive. Very recommendable are also the hiking tours with Stella.

A beautiful possibility are the boat tours from the beach of Pánormos at the southeast corner of Naxos. There is no web site with informations, but during all summer the captain makes several boat trips along the coast per day.
