    Description

    Orkos Beach is a sandy stretch on Naxos' west coast, between Agios Prokopios and Plaka. The beach is backed by dunes and low scrub, with a steady westerly swell that makes the water wavy, appealing to swimmers who enjoy active conditions. A few sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent, and a simple beach bar serves drinks and snacks. Parking is along the roadside near the access path. The beach is less crowded than neighbouring Agios Prokopios, offering a more relaxed atmosphere. Facilities such as showers and toilets are limited, so visitors should come prepared. The natural setting with dunes and sea grass gives it a wilder feel.
