Plaka Beach

Plaka Beach stretches along Naxos’ western coast, offering a stunning view of the Aegean Sea with its clear, shallow waters and soft golden sand. This beach is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying a peaceful afternoon. The gentle waves make it ideal for families, while the long stretch of sand provides plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the scenery.

What sets Plaka apart is its laid-back vibe. While the beach is dotted with a handful of beach bars and tavernas offering delicious Greek food and refreshing drinks, the overall atmosphere remains relaxed and unhurried. It’s less commercialized than other beaches, maintaining its natural beauty and authenticity. The beach is perfect for both couples looking for a romantic escape and families enjoying quality time together.

Now, a little heads-up: Plaka Beach is known for its free-spirited atmosphere, so don’t be surprised if you spot a few nudists strolling down some areas of the beach. While there are plenty of clothed sunbathers and swimmers, parts of the beach embrace a more liberated vibe where visitors go au naturel. Whether you’re into it or not, you’ll find the beach to be an open-minded and judgment-free zone, so you can enjoy the experience however you like.
