Here you don&#039;t have to choose between town and beach \u2013 you can stay close to the restaurants and alleys of Naxos town and still have sand and sea right around the corner.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banner freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-178790964\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-1276280188\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/firstcamp.se\/bra-att-veta\/incheckning-efter-stangning?utm_source=display&#038;utm_medium=Freedom-Travel&#038;utm_campaign=Freedom-Travel-sommar-2026\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-224x107.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dropin_freedom_travel_588x280_SE_final-433x206.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"280\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9564.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Agios_Prokopios_%E2%80%93_fran_lugnt_till_hippt_strandhang\"><\/span>2.

popular and well-organized beach with sun loungers and parasols along large parts of the beach and plenty of tavernas and beach bars. When we were here there were a lot of people and we also heard a lot of Swedish voices. To us, Agia Anna felt a little less chill than Agios Prokopios and more like a classic and popular holiday beach. Not bad at all \u2013 just a different feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s a bit funny that during the 1970s and 80s Agia Anna was instead associated with young Greek and foreign travelers who came here to camp at a much more untouched beach. Since then, the area has developed considerably. There was no swimming here for us either. We continued south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Plaka_%E2%80%93_sanddyner_frihetskansla_och_camping\"><\/span>4.

Maragas felt bigger and spontaneously gave us the impression of having better space for motorhomes. Both campsites offer the usual service for motorhomes and caravans, and you can also stay overnight in a tent or cabin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we had come to Naxos with our camper van, we would have happily parked it here and hung out for a few days. Beach, swimming and a relaxed camping atmosphere \u2013 it would have suited us just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9224.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Camping Maragas Beach Naxos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9220-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Plaka Camping.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Mikri_Vigla_%E2%80%93_kite-_och_vindsurfarnas_strand\"><\/span>5.

But the beach is long, so the bottom may very well be better in other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9490.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Alyko_Beach_%E2%80%93_vilt_och_vackert\"><\/span>7. Alyko Beach \u2013 wild and beautiful<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we started to approach the two beaches that we perhaps liked the most. The area around Alyko felt much wilder and more unregulated than the beaches further north. Here you park the car and walk on to one of the small beaches and coves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9495.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No long rows of sun loungers and parasols. No tavernas right on the beach, no hotels and no lifeguards. Just beach, sea and nature, and of course some other holidaymakers who had found their way here before us. So it wasn&#039;t deserted, but it never felt crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alyko is also special because of the nature around it. The peninsula is home to a large protected forest of ancient juniper trees, whose extensive root systems help to retain the sand and preserve the dunes. The area is sometimes described as a \u201dcedar forest\u201d, but botanically it is juniper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several small sandy coves here, including Alyko, Small Alyko, Kedros and Hawaii Beach. Since there is no obvious service down at the small beaches, our advice is simple: bring water and preferably something to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9498.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The hotel we managed to miss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a strange attraction at Alyko that we completely missed. On the peninsula are the remains of a huge hotel project that began construction in the late 1960s but was never completed. The concrete ruins have since become an informal outdoor gallery for graffiti and large murals, including those by street artist Wild Drawing, WD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did we know when we were there? No. It wasn&#039;t until afterwards that followers on Instagram started asking if we had seen the abandoned hotel. Well, we hadn&#039;t. You can&#039;t have it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Hawaii_Beach_%E2%80%93_var_favorit_pa_Naxos\"><\/span>8. Hawaii Beach \u2013 our favorite on Naxos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead we continued to Hawaii Beach, and there we found our favorite. Even from above, the beach is incredibly beautiful. It is not very large and lies like a small sandy cove below the wild landscape of Alyko. The area&#039;s small coves have sandy beaches and turquoise water and are surrounded by sand dunes and juniper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9499.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We went down, found our own little corner and spread out our beach towels on the soft sand. We stayed there. We lay in the sun, swam in the lovely water and ate our extremely well-planned (well) picnic, which consisted of water and chocolate biscuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, you can make it much more advanced. Bring a proper picnic, fruit, something cold to drink and everything else that makes a beach day better. But you know what? Chocolate chip cookies also work really well on Hawaii Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9503.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Apollonas_%E2%80%93_strand_och_byliv_pa_norra_Naxos\"><\/span>9.

As so many times before, of course the drinks were placed in front of the wrong people and we had to switch. That&#039;s how it can go when it&#039;s the woman who likes beer and the man who likes to drink wine...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Naxos-strander-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was very enjoyable to sit there for a while and look out over the beach and the sea. There was no swimming this time either \u2013 after an hour it was time to jump on the bus and continue the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before leaving Apollonas we also stopped at the famous <strong>Kouros of Apollonas<\/strong>, a ten-meter-long unfinished marble statue that still remains in the ancient quarry where it began to be carved about 2,500 years ago. Then it was back to Naxos town after a long day full of experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9411.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kouros of Apollonas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container faktaruta uagb-block-57cfa310 default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vilken_strand_pa_Naxos_passar_dig\"><\/span>Which beach on Naxos is right for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The beaches along the west coast of Naxos have quite a diverse character.

We don&#039;t really agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed at <strong>Astir of Naxos<\/strong>, a very nice hotel with a personal touch and an owner and staff who made us feel welcome. In addition, the hotel had a pool that attracted us every time we walked by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_IMG_E9163.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alluring pool at Astir of Naxos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were sun loungers around the pool and from the pool area we had fantastic views of the mountains. After days filled with rental cars, beaches, villages, temples and other discoveries, we decided to spend an afternoon not discovering anything at all. We each settled into a sun lounger with a beer, swam in the pool and stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#039;s something very casual \u2013 and a bit luxurious \u2013 about a hotel pool. You don&#039;t have to pack a lunch, find parking or wonder which beach is around the next bend. Sometimes, it&#039;s actually quite enough to just order a beer and jump in the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-315224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/batch_RAQFE6975.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In the hotel pool at Astir of Naxos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container faktaruta uagb-block-2d3b7da8 default uagb-is-root-container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bra_att_veta_om_strander_pa_Naxos\"><\/span>Good to know about beaches on Naxos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Many beaches are easy to reach.<\/strong> The popular beaches closest to Naxos Town can be reached by public transport and during the summer there are also bus connections to Plaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A rental car gives you more freedom.<\/strong> If you want to do like us and continue south towards Mikri Vigla, Kastraki, Alyko and Hawaii Beach, a car is a convenient way to stop spontaneously along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The service varies a lot.<\/strong> At Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna there are plenty of restaurants, beach bars, parasols and sun loungers, while the environment around Alyko is much more close to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expect wind.<\/strong> Naxos is a windy island and Mikri Vigla is particularly famous for kite and windsurfing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bring water.<\/strong> Especially when you visit the smaller bays around Alyko, it is wise to bring water, sunscreen and preferably something to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>It is possible to camp on the beach.<\/strong> There are camping facilities at Plaka and Maragas, which makes the area also interesting for those coming to Naxos with a camper or tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And above all: try to make it to more than one beach.<\/strong> It is only when you continue south along the coast that you discover how diverse Naxos&#039;
