About the Beach

Grotta is a rocky and dramatic beach located right next to Naxos Town, just below the famous Portara. It features deep blue water and a rugged shore made of volcanic stone and pebbles. It is not a place for traditional sunbathing on the sand, but it offers a view of the ancient temple and the open sea. The water is often subject to strong northern winds, which can create large waves and a powerful environment. It is an unorganized spot for those who want to see the wilder side of the coast and explore the underwater ruins of the ancient city. The atmosphere is historical and raw, providing a contrast to the organized sandy beaches nearby. It is a destination for photography and for experiencing the energy of the Aegean. The water is clean and deep, making it a choice for strong swimmers who enjoy a bit of surf.
