The wild dunes of Naxos

The longest (~4 km) of the chain of beaches south of the town, with soft white-gold sand and natural dunes dotted with sea cedars and tamarisks; white sea lilies bloom here in summer.

It has a dual character: organised beach bars to the north, wilder and sparsely serviced to the south (with a long-standing naturist stretch at the far end). It stays quiet.

About this beach

The bay at Plaka opens to the south-west, so it usually has natural cover from northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly winds. Orientation only reflects which way the coast faces, not confirmed shelter, so check wind and waves in the app before you go.

Plaka has sand underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Plaka has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds, natural shade, parking nearby and food nearby. There is a campsite nearby (Plaka Camping, ~320 m).
