Mikri Vigla lies on the south-west coast of Naxos and is known for its long sandy beaches and the wind that makes it a popular destination for windsurfers. Plioni Villas is set a little inland from the sea, surrounded by gardens, and offers a quiet setting for a holiday with friends or family, with days spent between the pool and the coast.
Kastraki Beach is just 400 m from the property, and Mikri Vigla Beach is 1.6 km away. Further north are Orkos and Plaka, with their long sandy stretches and dunes. The area has tavernas serving traditional island cuisine for dinner after a day by the sea, from 850 m away. Naxos Airport is 6 km away, and Chora, with its Venetian castle and the Portara, is 9 km to the north.
The best time for swimming is from May to October. The meltemi often blows in July and August, while in September the sea remains warm and there are fewer people. For a day away from the beach, a hire car can take you to Naxos’s mountain villages, such as Chalki and Apeiranthos. At the beach, you can go windsurfing or simply lie on the sand. In autumn and spring, when temperatures are milder, the area is well suited to hiking and cycling in the countryside of south-west Naxos.
