Alyko beach

"Alyko Beach is a stunning sandy beach located in the southwestern part of Naxos, approximately 17.5 kilometers from the island’s capital, Naxos Town. It is part of the larger coastal area known as Alyko, which includes several beautiful sandy beaches and coves such as Kedros, Mikro Alyko, and Hawaii, all characterized by white sands and a surrounding forest of cedar trees. Alyko Beach is particularly popular due to its easy access and orientation, providing a safe haven from the northern winds. The beach is situated within a small cove that offers a tranquil atmosphere, making it ideal for those seeking isolation, although it can get busy during the high season. While not an organized beach with umbrellas or sunbeds, its unspoiled beauty attracts visitors looking for a quiet retreat. Accessible via an asphalt road, Alyko is also conveniently located near other beaches like Glyfada and Pyrgaki, and while it lacks extensive amenities, nearby villages offer essential services. The scenic drive to Alyko features panoramic views of the coastline, enhancing the overall experience of this serene destination. "
