Great way to see the countryside Gioannis arrange tours of appr, three hours, and decide a route to fit the participants of the group. He will tell you, if he jufge the other participants are either more fit or require an easier ride than you would prefer yourself.

I went on a tour to the temple of Demeter, where we passed through the countryside and small villages. Breathtaking views and a few steep hills. On our way (we were three) Gioannis generously explained about the country and history.

Gioannis supplies high-qualty bikes and equipment, and on the tiyr he are very concerned about your safety.

Highly recommended.

Magic way to see the islandNaxos Bike Tours, just around the corner from and east of the port, very close to the large Greek Orthodox Church at the base of old town. There you will find Yannis and a large selection of well maintained, good quality bikes. Yannis will fit you with a bike and recommend to you some of the best routes. The ideal thing to do is the 3 hour tour with him because he will take you off road.We are fit but not practised mountain bikers. In his quiet, non condescending way Yannis led us for 3 hours around the island of Naxos. Intriguing vistas, interesting historical sites and villages and great little back roads and challenging tracks. A reasonably priced way to explore a magic island and make room for all the fresh food Naxos is famous for.

Pleasant off-road experienceWe did the 3 hour easy ride which took us on farm roads to Plaka Beach and Agia Anna and back. 24 hour bicycle rental was included.
This was the best bicycle I have had the pleasure to ride and the saddle was very comfortable. We enjoyed the commentary of our guide. We would never have found these roads by ourselves – it was great not having to deal with traffic.
We could have gone a bit faster given that it was just the 2 of us and our guide. Other than that, it was great fun.

Great way to see Naxos.My wife and I stopped by the day before to book our tour. It is located right by the port in the old town. We wanted to see the parts of the island that were more traditional and local. We are both in good shape, but don’t bike much, so we wanted something fairly easy.

Yannis recommended a tour to the beaches (Plaka and Agia Anna) and some riding through local villages. We were each sized for mountain bikes and we on our way. We biked through the villages on a variety of terrains – street, dirt and mud and uphill, downhill and flat.

The first part of the ride was pretty easy although biking through the muddy bamboo fields was a little tricky. After about an hour we arrived at Agia Anna – a beautiful beach. Then we kept biking along the coast and finished at the Plaka Beach – another really beautiful beach (that we went back to the next day, but by bus). Then we headed back through some other villages with great views of mountains.

Overall, we biked 17 miles and were super tired at the end. We felt great though – we saw parts of Naxos we would not otherwise have seen. Yannis was a great guide and we biked at a good pace. Highly recommend a bike tour with Yannis – it is a great way to see Naxos.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing. Thank you to the team for the perfect organization of the event. It was a great first bicycle race experience for me and I really look forward to next years’ competitions.

Great service and material It was the best choice to get a bike for a day to explore the island of Naxos.

Γιάννης is great and gives you all the best recommendations on the island, depending on the length of your trip and your very own condition.

Thank you for letting me be a part of such a fantastic event! Being a volunteer for this race is much more than just work, it’s an unforgettable experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
