Mikri Vigla Beaches

Mikri Vigla, nestled in the Aegean, offers a distinctive Greek island beach experience. This small headland is famed for its two contrasting beaches, each with its own unique charm. The northern stretch, often known as Parthena, is a paradise for adrenaline seekers, with strong Meltemi winds creating world-class conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing. In contrast, the southern beach, referred to as Limanaki or Sahara, provides a sheltered haven with calm, shallow turquoise waters and soft golden sand, making it perfect for swimming and families seeking tranquility.

Among the highlights is Mikri Vigla Beach itself, internationally recognized for its superb watersports, especially on its windy northern side. For visitors exploring the wider Naxos coastline, nearby Plaka Beach beckons with its seemingly endless expanse of golden sand, offering both organized sections and quieter retreats. Further south, Alyko Beach enchants with its unique landscape of cedar forests and secluded coves. And for those venturing into Naxos Town, Agios Georgios Beach provides a convenient and family-friendly option with shallow waters.

Mikri Vigla caters wonderfully to those desiring a peaceful retreat or an active holiday centered around the sea. While it maintains a more relaxed atmosphere compared to some bustling Naxos resorts, it provides a welcoming environment for all. Beyond these notable shores, the region has more coastal beauty to discover. For a comprehensive look at all the seaside spots, be sure to explore our longer list of beaches in the guide.
