Agiassos - all beaches

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.

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.

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.

We decided to visit the beach during the off-season, as it was one of the destinations we didn't want to miss out on. Despite the long drive of 1.5 hours from Chora, the scenic beauty was worth it. The beach can be accessed by a small rocky dirt road, and once you park your vehicle, a short walk down takes you to the shore. We spent some time clicking pictures and feeling the chilly water before leaving. The beach was extremely quiet during the off-season, and we were the only ones there. Nevertheless, it is a must-visit spot if you have the time.

This stunning beach with breathtaking views, but unfortunately, the ocean floor is covered in jagged rocks, which may not be the most welcoming for swimmers. During our visit, the wind was blowing, and the beach was unusually quiet, allowing us to bask in the serene beauty of the sunset without any distractions. It was as if we had the entire beach to ourselves, creating a truly magical experience.
