Family trip to Naxos with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Naxos - the largest Cyclades island - is a fantastic place to spend a vacation. It's a great idea to visit the island with kids so that they can get an unforgettable experience. Opportunities provided for the whole family include water sports (diving, surfing, yachting, cruising), visiting entertainment centers, swimming in the waters of the Aegean Sea, and sunbathing under the scorching sun of Greece.

Aqua Fun Water Park located near Agios Prokopios is perfect for exploring the island. The complex is small, however, it is still very spacious and uncrowded, which is a big plus for many. Given the above, the atmosphere is always relaxing and calm. This is the most popular water park on the whole island. You'll find several water slides and pools (indoor and outdoor ones, as well as a wave pool) in which it is nice to spend time with the whole family. If the child is getting hungry, take him or her to an on-site bar. Suitable for children from 3 to 10 years old.

Agios Prokopios Beach is no less popular than the water park. This is a wonderful place where you can both sunbathe and hide from the sun in the shade of trees. The right side of the beach is less crowded than the left. Clean soft sand, azure water - all this attracts hundreds of tourists. Another popular beach among local and traveling families is Plaka Beach. It is very long, due to which it is never crowded and "half-wild". It is worth considering that it is also popular with nudists, which does not bother vacationing families at all. It's a very comfortable and spacious beach where there is enough space for everyone.

Well, it's worth mentioning one more beautiful family-friendly beach. This is Mikri Vigla Beach, another “semi-wild” beach appreciated by kitesurfing enthusiasts. Here you can sunbathe, swim, jump with a parachute, and go paragliding - the beach is many-sided. It is quite large, and therefore it is almost impossible to meet crowds here. At several cafes, you can grab a bite to eat as soon as hunger strikes. As for natural attractions, an outstanding one is Mount Zas, which is considered the second most important attraction of the island (after the beaches).

Be sure to take a guided tour of the Cave of Zeus and let your small travelers see it. This very large cave is a historical and cultural monument of Ancient Greece. It was here that Rhea hid her son Zeus from the wrath of Cronus. This is the very place where the future supreme god in ancient Greek mythology grew up. At the foot of the mountain leading to the cave, you can admire unbelievably beautiful views - it's worth visiting the place for the sake of this sight alone. As the ancient Greek gods did, according to ancient myths. The cave can be found near Rachi Polichnitou Reserve.

Children will surely appreciate the time spent in Naxos Fun Park - a great place with a lot of entertainment available (water rides, gaming machines, a pool). Go to a cafe for tasty meals if you feel like it's the right time. It's definitely worth taking a walk along the waterfront where the park is located. The views of the Aegean Sea, arriving and departing ships will amaze any traveler, even more so a child.

Among other things, it'd be interesting to attend Vasilikos Cooking Lessons where they teach how to cook like they do in Greece. Parents will share the results of their work with their kids (yes, this is their favorite part). You can also pamper them in places like Milkato Gelateria (delicious ice cream), Chocolat Cafe-Creperie (chocolate desserts and pancakes), as well as Waffle House (delicious waffles, obviously). All the cafes are concentrated in the island's largest city of Naxos.
