Our favourite spots
Mikri Vigla
Located on the west side of Naxos, Mikri Vigla is a long white sandy beach protected from north winds by a small hill that separates it from Parthena, the kite surfing paradise. "Mikri Vigla" in Greek means "small watch point", where in ancient years, people were on the lookout for dangers or pirates approaching the island. Its a perfect snorkeling spot where you will encounter lots of fish roaming through the rocky seabed.
