Plaka Beach of Naxos is always bursting with excitement and activities. There is just so much to do here: from sunbathing and watersports to windsurfing and scuba diving, there is something for everyone. Since the sea only deepens gradually, it is a safe place for children. Like most of the beaches in Naxos Island, Plaka Beach boasts clear waters and fine white sand that stretches up to 4 kilometers, allowing plenty of privacy to bathers. There is ample space away from the umbrellas and the crowd for those who seek tranquility.

Various historical sites surround the beach, so if you’re thinking of getting a change of environment, you can always walk around. After sunset, soulful music from the numerous cafés nearby fills the air and adds character to the beach. Take advantage of the thriving nightlife and head to the clubs where you can let loose and dance all night. If you’re not a huge fan of flashy lights and large crowds, the cafés offer some cool jazz, blues and even traditional Greek music.
