BEACHES
Naxos is one of the most popular islands in the Cyclades and it is the favorite holiday destination for many people around the world. Because of its windy climate the island is perfect for adventurous people who are fond of water sports such as windsurfing and water-skiing.
One of the most beautiful and popular beaches in Naxos is Saint George beach which is even awarded the European Blue Flag every year. It is fully organized and has plenty of water sport facilities. The southern end of this beach is a favorite spot for windsurfing and it is an ideal place for windsurfing lessons since the water here is shallow.
Another wonderful choice is the sandy Aliko beach which is a marvelous, quiet place if you want to relax and take in the outstanding landscape. The beach is situated right under a lush cedar forest with lovely sand dunes that has even been declared as a protected natural area. It is not an organized beach which means that there are no umbrellas or sunbeds but this is exactly what makes it ideal for people who seek isolation and tranquility.
Plaka beach would be another suggestion for anyone who is looking for an organized beach and it is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches not only on the island but in Greece as a whole. The same applies for Agios Prokopios beach which is even regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. It is protected from the strong winds that are characteristic of the island and it is equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers.
If you are truly crazy about windsurfing and kitesurfing, Mikri Vigla beach is a dream place for you as it will truly inspire you to take up your favorite sports. However, even if you are a beginner there are two water sport clubs here that you can join to take courses or rent the necessary equipment.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a secluded beach where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the area, Panermos beach with its crystalline water is definitely the right choice. It is worth noting that a boat tour sets off from Panermos beach towards nearby beaches which are not accessible by car. You can choose to get off at one of those beaches and the boat will return to pick you up later on during the day.
These are only a few of your options but there are really innumerable, amazing beaches on the island to choose from.
