Naxos really has some of the most wonderful beaches in Greece. There are beaches for all tastes. White sandy beaches, beaches with thicker "stony" sand as well as beaches perfect for sports like windsurfing, beach volley, etc.
Often villages cannot be distinguished from the nearby beaches. The beaches are so beautiful that when people refer to a village they are actually talking about the beach (eg. Agia Anna is a village but most people refer to the beach when they mention Agia Anna).
| Agios Georgios, Chora Naxos | |
|
Its proximity to the town center, the bars and hotels makes it a good quick-swim choice for everyone. |
|
Agios
Georgios is one of the most popular beaches in Chora Naxos.
| Agia Anna | |
|
It is preferred by people who love camping and those who wish to be somewhere nice and quiet. |
|
Next to Agios Prokopios, Agia Anna is one of the most popular beaches on
the island.
|
(partially for Nudists) |
Agios Prokopios |
|
It's got crystal clear water and is preferred by families as well as groups of teenagers. |
|
Agios
Prokopios is a lovely and very long beach that starts from the area of
Stelida and ends where Agia Anna starts.
|
(also for Nudists) |
Plaka |
|
It's a place very popular with nudists, without that meaning that it's a place full of nudists. It's merely one more great beach. |
|
Plaka
is in a sense the continuation of the beach of Agia Anna.
| Parthenos | |
|
Parthenos is another great beach. Again clear waters and one of the best places to relax. |
|
You
can find this beach as you go further south from Plaka beach.
| Mikri Vigla | |
|
The water is great and there is also a winsurf center in the area. |
|
Excellent
beach, especially for the ones who love sports like windsurf and kitesurf.
| Amitis | |
|
It's close to the very "green" villages of Eggares and Galini. |
|
For
the ones who want something smaller and relatively quiet, Amitis is a very
nice choice.
| Amprami | |
|
This is one more nice place for anyone to swim.
|
|
Further
north from Amitis you will find Abrami, another nice and quiet beach.
| Kastraki | |
|
Once more, great waters and plenty of space for everyone to relax.
|
|
Kastraki
is located at the south-west of naxos.
| Moutsouna | |
|
Located at the very east of naxos, it also provides access by small boats to the island of Donousa. |
|
Moutsouna
is another well-known beach of naxos.
| Pirgaki | |
|
Once more, great waters and plenty of space for everyone to relax or just play. |
|
Pirgaki
is another great beach.
| Agiasos | |
|
It has been popular with local families in the last few years. Note that there is NO asphalt road leading to the beach. |
|
Agiasos
is a very nice beach. It has got clear water and is a good place for
you to relax.
| Alyko | |
|
It's also another good place for people who wish to test their windsurfing and kitesurf skills. A lot of people from mainland europe tend to visit places such as the beach near the airport, Mikri Vigla or Alyko to enjoy windsurfing. If you are into sports it is a very good choice.
|
|
Alyko
is between the beaches of Kastraki and Pyrgaki.
| Apollonas | |
|
The beach is relatively small but the environment is relaxing and friendly. |
|
Although
Apollonas is a bit far from Chora Naxos, it is a very pleasant place to
be.
| Lionas | |
|
It is near the northern villages of Naxos such as Koronos and Komiaki and
provides access to old traditional villages and locations. |
|
Lionas
is a very rocky and different beach.
