Cycling across the hilly interior of Naxos can be hard work on a push bike, particularly when the wind strikes up. But exploring this sizeable and scenic island on an e-bike is a lot of fun, particularly if you find yourself on the many roads with virtually no traffic. The winding Epar Od Naxou-Chalkiou road from Halki to Naxos Town is particularly empty and exhilarating, as you swoop through the craggy countryside. You can hire e-bikes from several places in and around Naxos town, but Aurelia Bikes is both friendly and informative. And they have an arrangement with a restaurant in Filoti that enables you to recharge your bike batteries while you have lunch.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR1cIOUOwI_UQ1ah69e17DSixwn0XZ_gNvGb56FsaYFJGqu9GL9iyxR5Cu0pH7JeY8uExf39Xjs4IZCd2pUXqMSYuCHyOzfATi9gO9d2tpnlLUnjJS-hb9NQsHV7asCq5f7_TtGaDVQpwe/s16000/DSC08759+%25281%2529.jpg)
