About

Mikri Vigla Beach, tucked away on the southwestern coast of Naxos Island, presents a captivating escape for visitors. Its long stretch of golden sand is flanked by rugged, wind-swept dunes, creating a peaceful yet dynamic atmosphere. The clear, azure waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, making it one of the top swimming spots in Greece. As one of the quieter Naxos beaches, Mikri Vigla maintains a serene ambiance, even during the high summer months, offering space for both relaxation and exploration.

The beach is particularly famous for its perfect wind conditions, which attract windsurfers and kitesurfers from around the world. The steady winds create an exciting environment for water sports enthusiasts, yet there's still plenty of room for those who prefer to unwind on the shore. For a more secluded experience, head to the northern end of Mikri Vigla, where the beach is quieter and the landscape more untouched, ideal for peaceful sunbathing and enjoying the pristine surroundings.

The area also features several small tavernas and beach bars, where you can enjoy local delicacies while taking in breathtaking views of the sparkling waters and the nearby islands. The beach is well-equipped with basic amenities, but it retains a sense of authenticity, free from the overwhelming commercialization seen in other more tourist-heavy spots on Naxos. For those interested in history and culture, Mikri Vigla is within a short drive of notable landmarks like the Temple of Apollo and the village of Vivlos, adding a cultural layer to your beach getaway.
