We arrived at Naxos port by ferry from Piraeus, and this seemed to be the most common way of transportation to Naxos with several itineraries during the day and especially in the summer. The trip lasted nearly 5 hours. My first impression of the beautiful port town of the Aegean was not unjustified.
As we (family for four) toured the island in a rental car, I was vastly impressed by its wide open landscapes of fertile valleys, its historical ruins, and beautiful beaches of
Naxos. No wonder that the island has been referenced in works of both, ancient and modern writers, as possessing outstanding beauty.
Fortunately, we did not have to worry too much about keeping the children happy- we dropped them off at the Aqua Fun Park and they had a great day at the water slides and other water games. The other days, they played alone on the beach from morning to sunset. Didn't get a break, not even for lunch! I believe this was an amazing week for them. They may have returned home all red from the sun, but they had this big smile all the time there! Almost cried when vacations were over!
