Why go to the Caribbean when we have the beautiful beaches of Greece so close to us in Europe? Plaka beach is our favorite in Naxos, along with Agia Anna beach. The beach is incredibly long, taking about 45-60 minutes to walk its entire length, and has fine to grainy white sand. On this side of the island, the wind is much calmer compared to the southern part. From Agia Anna to halfway down the beach, there are some restaurants on the back street with beach chairs. Beyond that, the beach becomes more natural with occasional hotels and restaurants. We came across 3 or 4 nudist areas along the beach, making it quite inclusive. I highly recommend taking the bus to get there, as a round trip ticket costs less than 5€, while renting a car will set you back at least 50€ per day, not to mention the expensive petrol at 2€ per liter. The last bus drops you off at approximately halfway down the beach.
Этот потрясающий пляж расположен к югу от города Наксос и может похвастаться впечатляющей полосой песка. Поездка на велосипеде всего за 30 минут стоит усилий, чтобы добраться до этого идиллического места.
This beach is absolutely stunning and my personal favorite on Naxos due to the gorgeous sand and sea. However, it can be quite windy for sunbathing compared to other beaches. It stretches for about 1km and is located right after the popular Plaka beach, making it a hotspot for windsurfers. Although we walked here from Agios Prokopios (which was quite a long walk), there is a dirt road for access and apparently an asphalt road that connects to Naxos Town, which is about 10km away. Walking along the beaches on either side is a fantastic experience and the scenery is breathtaking. During our visit in early May, which was the start of the season, it was peaceful and quiet.
The beach is amazing, but there aren't any beach bars with organized services, so you should bring your own umbrella. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a visit. To reach the beach, you need to navigate a narrow path between some rocks, but it's not too challenging as long as you're cautious.
Пляж представляет собой потрясающую и уединенную жемчужину! Он спрятан за кедровым лесом Агия Анна, и до него можно добраться по деревянной тропинке, которая окружает пляж Марагас. Это скрытое место предлагает уединение, что делает его популярным выбором для нудистов. Глубокие воды могут похвастаться невероятными цветами, а мелкий песок ведет к живописным скалам, создавая захватывающий дух пейзаж для наслаждения красивым закатом.
This stunning beach boasts an expanse of pristine white sand and tranquil turquoise waters. During our visit in early May, we were delighted to find ourselves virtually alone on this idyllic stretch of paradise. As evidenced by the accompanying photos, the beach is perfect for leisurely strolls that can be extended to include the neighboring beaches, all of which are equally stunning.
