Description
Small cove at the SE tip of Naxos near Moutsouna. Shore is a mix of sand and fine pebbles; seabed mostly fine sand with clear, clean water. The bay is relatively sheltered from the prevailing northerly Meltemi, so conditions are often calm, though exposure can increase when winds turn onshore. Access is by the coastal road from Moutsouna that ends at Panermos; final approach is narrow and partly unpaved. Parking is mainly along the roadside near the harbor. Facilities are limited: a simple taverna/beach bar sits behind the beach, but there is no evidence of formal organization with rented sunbeds/umbrellas. No lifeguard; wheelchair access is not available. Shade is from a few palm trees; bring supplies and water. Use caution on the drive and around rocks at the cove edges.
