From family relaxation to wild beauty
Naxos possesses an impressive variety of beaches with crystal-clear waters, from extensive sandy shores to quiet rocky coves.
Start at Agios Georgios, the beach of Hora, ideal for families and those who want to be close to the life of the island. The shallow, calm waters and sports activities make it a favourite meeting point for young and old alike.
Slightly further south, a series of beaches unfolds: Agios Prokopios, with dazzling white sand and turquoise waters, is considered one of the most beautiful in the Cyclades. Agia Anna, with its tavernas almost on the actual water and its romantic aura, is ideal for an afternoon swim. Plaka, quiet and unpretentious, offers the ultimate sense of freedom.
Moving towards the south, you will encounter Mikri Vigla, a favourite destination for kite surfing and windsurfing enthusiasts, thanks to the steady winds. If you seek tranquillity, cross the sandy hill and enter Parthena beach, a natural sanctuary, with a white chapel on the crest of the rocks.
Further along, Alyko and Pyrgaki offer a setting of rare beauty: sand dunes, cedars, and absolute silence.
At the southernmost tip, Agiassos makes it difficult to leave with its clear, shallow waters. From there, by boat or car, you can reach the wonderful bays of Klido, with the sandy beach separated by rocks, offering seclusion within nature.
In the northern part of the island, the beaches of Abram and Apollonas stand out for their different feel: wilder landscapes, stony shores, and deep, clear waters, against the backdrop of Cycladic villages and the ruins of ancient temples. Apollonas, with its picturesque small harbour and the Kouros that stands tall just outside the village, is an ideal stop for a calm, afternoon swim.
