The beach is absolutely stunning and has a relaxed vibe, with some chilled music playing in the background at a comfortable volume. It's also easily accessible, making it a great spot to spend the day.

The vast expanse of beach is adorned with gleaming yellow sand and crystal-clear waters that are immaculately clean. The breathtaking vistas of Paros Island add to the allure of this stunning location. There's an abundance of umbrellas available for rent, and we found the Aegean Land Cafe section (located near the Plakafe bus stop) to be the most affordable. The service was exceptional, and the prices were reasonable. Our waiter went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic day basking in the sun.

The beach has clear waters and pristine golden sand. It's easily accessible and the best part is that you don't have to shell out 10€ just to use an umbrella. Grab a cup of coffee from one of the nearby snack bars and relax. The only downside is that the road leading to the beach can be a bit dusty.

Ah, the beach. A place of sand, sun, and salty air. This particular beach is quite the gem - it's so clean you could eat off the sand (though we wouldn't recommend it). And if you're looking for some peace and quiet, May is the perfect time to visit. It's so serene, you might even forget you're at a beach and not in a library. But don't worry, the sound of waves crashing will remind you that you're still in paradise.

This stunning beach is located to the south of Naxos town and boasts an impressive stretch of sand. A bike ride of just 30 minutes is well worth the effort to reach this idyllic spot.
