Watersports
Pyrgaki Beach is a great place to engage in watersports thanks to the strong summer wind known as meltemi. Throughout the day, the average wind speed can range from 5-7 beaufort, making the conditions at Pyrgaki beach ideal for all levels (beginner to advanced) in the slalom/speed, wave, freestyle and free-ride categories.
Bike Breathtaking Coastal Trails
Biking enthusiasts, two fairly easy paths for touring and mountain bikes are: Pyrgaki to Alykos Beach
- From Pyrgaki follow the dirt road to Alykos beach
- Turn left on the asphalt road (careful, there might be some traffic) until you come to the remnants of an old hotel located on the edge of Kouroupia cape
- To return, take the same asphalt path north
Pyrgaki to Agiassos
- From Pyrgaki head east along the coast towards Agiassos
- Enjoy the view to the beach and view of the islands of the Small Cyclades in the distance
- To return, follow the same road back to Pyrgaki

Greek Summer at Sun and Moon Villas
There is nothing like a summer holiday spent on a Greek island complete with sun-filled days at the beach: swimming in crystal clear blue waters, relaxing under the umbrella, drinking an iced beverage and clearing the mind. There is nothing like a summer holiday spent on Naxos, exploring the largest island of the Cyclades: visiting its many beaches, villages, archaeological sites, historic cultural venues, museums and unique shops! And after a long day of discovery and adventure, there is nothing like coming home… to Sun and Moon Villas, your exclusive home away from home when spending your summer holiday on Naxos. This is the time to cool off from the hot sun, to take a siesta, to indulge in the sounds of the cicadas… There is nothing like a summer afternoon-early evening on a Greek island. This is the time of “kalispera,” the greeting when we bid welcome to the afternoon and the time before night falls. There is nothing like Greek summer … on Naxos … in Pyrgaki … at Sun and Moon Villas, where the sun and the moon welcome you home on your holiday vacation.
