Two and a half hours on e-bikes, ending in the water at Plaka

A 2.5-hour e-bike tour on Naxos that starts in Glinado and Vivlos villages, descends to the coast, and finishes with a swim at Plaka beach.

The experience

The ride starts at Aurelia's headquarters in Protodikiou square and heads toward Glinado village, then Vivlos, where you pass windmills and take in views across the Aegean archipelago. The e-assist bikes handle the terrain. You control the pedal-assist level as you move through countryside landscapes toward the ocean. Your guide leads you to Plaka, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Aegean, with golden sand and water clear enough to see the bottom.

Once at the coast, your guide offers options based on the day's wind and conditions, so you choose which beach suits your swim best. You get time to sunbathe, swim and relax in the water. Homemade lemonade made with Naxian lemons, bottled water, and a seasonal fruit or cereal bar are waiting. Large Aurelia towels (180cm x 80cm) are provided, and you'll have a headset throughout the ride so you can hear your guide's tips and stories without shouting.

The return follows the most popular coastline: you ride past Agia Anna port, Agios Prokopios, and the lagoons where you might spot pink flamingos early in summer. The route ends with views of Naxos town and the old castle before you arrive back at headquarters. All fees, taxes and a fully trained local guide with a first aid kit are included.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I choose between a private tour and riding with other people?

Yes. You can book the private tour for just your group, or the semi-private option to ride with others. Both follow the same route and include the same stops and swim time.

What happens if the weather or wind changes on the day?

Your guide assesses conditions and gives you options on which beach is most suitable for swimming that day, so the experience adjusts to what's actually happening on the water.

What are Glinado and Vivlos villages like?

Glinado is a beautiful village in the outskirts of Naxos town. Vivlos sits further along the route. Both are stops where you pass windmills and take in views of the Aegean archipelago before descending toward the coast.

Is the lemonade really made in Naxos?

Yes. The homemade lemonade is made with Naxian lemons, and it's served cold as a refreshment after your swim.

How fit do I need to be to ride an e-bike?

The bikes are electric-assist, so they help you pedal. You need to be comfortable riding in public streets and demonstrate sufficient riding competence. The operator asks that you have prior riding experience and feel confident on roads. Riders must be taller than 160cm and weigh less than 110kg.
