Naxos
Island has some of the very best beaches in Greece. There are over
40 Kilometres of beaches to choose from, and most of them are sandy.
There are popular and busy beaches with facilities as well as quiet
and remote beaches.
The south west of Naxos is almost one beach, interrupted by a few
peninsulas. North east and north west beaches are beautiful too,
while the new road south to Moutsouna leads to Psili Ammos an almost
undiscovered beach.
The road to Kalandos bay in the south is a rough track -a 4x4 is
a must-, but there are also daily cruises to the bay. The choice
is simply yours.
There are dozens of beaches in Naxos worth visiting. They are clean,
beautiful and fit for the most diverse tastes. Below are mentioned
some of the beaches that are our favorites and recommended for your
enjoy.
