The beaches

-
Panormos
On the remote south-east corner — Panormos sits on the south-east corner of Naxos, off the axis of the west-coast tourist beaches — the drive from Chora is long, which is why it stays…
-
Pyrgaki
Where the beach road stops — Pyrgaki is the last organised beach on the west coast, past Alyko — beyond it the road turns inland.
-
Mikri Vigla
The granite cape for windsurf & kite — A cape of golden granite divides two beaches. The name means "small watchtower", after a lookout that once guarded the coast against pirates.
-
Agios Georgios
The town beach of Naxos — It is fully organised and among the busiest; its shallow, breezy southern end is a well-known windsurf-instruction spot.
-
Kastraki
The quiet continuation of the west coast — Kastraki is a long ribbon of fine sand between Mikri Vigla and Alyko — the same sea as Agios Prokopios, with far fewer people.

Good to know
Which beaches in Naxos are organized?
The beaches listed here are marked as organized, usually with sunbeds, umbrellas and food or a beach bar nearby. Facilities can change by season, so confirm locally.
Are organized beaches less windy?
Not necessarily. Facilities do not change the wind or waves — check live conditions in the app and compare less exposed beaches on windy days.
When is the sea calmest here?
Across 8 of the beaches on this page, the open water in front of them is typically 0.88 m in June, 1.10 m in July and 1.11 m in August when the meltemi is at its strongest, and 0.97 m in September. June is the calmest month of the season. We calculate these figures ourselves from European Copernicus wave-model data at 4.2 km resolution. They describe the sea offshore, not the shelter of an individual cove — a bay protected by a headland will usually be calmer than this.
How warm is the water, month by month?
Off 8 of the beaches on this page the sea is typically 18.7 °C in May, 21.7 °C in June, 23.4 °C in July, 24.0 °C in August and 23.6 °C in September — mild at the height of summer, mild in June. By October it is 21.6 °C. August is the warmest month. Satellite measurements, 1995–2024, from a sea cell about 5 km offshore; shallow bays usually run warmer than this.
Wind and waves change every day. See live conditions for any of these beaches before you drive out.
