💡 Tips
- The beach gets crowded in summer; arrive before 9 AM for the best sunbeds or head to the northern end for more space.
- Take the frequent public bus from Naxos Town to avoid parking hassles near the beach.
- Be aware of the strong Meltemi winds in July and August; the southern part of the bay is usually more sheltered.
- Visit the nearby salt pans (Alikes) in the early morning to spot migratory birds, occasionally even flamingos.
- For a more relaxed beach experience, walk further south towards the adjacent Agia Anna beach.
