Orkos Beach Naxos

Orkos Beach is a spectacular and long coastal stretch on the western coast of Naxos, located between the famous beaches of Plaka and Mikri Vigla. It consists of several small coves separated by sharp rocks, featuring coarse golden sand and clear turquoise water. The beach is unorganized and maintains a raw, open character that is a choice for those who prefer nature over commercial development. It is a world-renowned destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing due to the steady and strong meltemi winds. The surrounding landscape features red-colored hills and green cedar trees, providing a dramatic and exotic backdrop to the sea. The water is clean and fresh, offering an invigorating environment for an active day. The entry into the water is easy and the coarse sand does not stick to the skin. It is a spot for nature lovers and adventurers who want to enjoy the wind and the waves in a setting that feels largely untouched. The atmosphere is social.
