Orkos is one of Naxos’ unspoiled beaches, offering natural beauty with clear waters and golden sand. This beach is located between Agia Anna and Mikri Vigla. Orkos Beach is the perfect place for those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere, compared to Naxos’ most popular beaches.
The spectacular scenery of Orkos Beach, with trees, soft golden sand, and deep blue waters, is the ideal place for peaceful sunbathing and relaxation. Furthermore, Orkos Beach is less busy than other beaches on Naxos, like Agios Prokopios and Agia Ann, and offers a more private experience to its visitors.
For those who like water sports, Orkos Beach has steady winds during the summer, and many surfers go there for windsurfing or kitesurfing.
The distance from Naxos town to Orkos Beach is about 11 km. You can catch the public bus from Naxos town’s main bus station and get off at Mikri Vigla, which is very close to Orkos Beach. A taxi is another option that is considered more convenient, as it will be quicker, and they will drop you off directly at the beach. Booking a taxi online ensures a stress-free roundtrip service.
Orkos Beach is an unspoiled and undeveloped beach, which means there are no shops, restaurants, or beach bars in this area. A short drive to Agia Anna Beach or Mikri Vigla is essential if you want to eat or buy something, so it is better to pack everything you need with you before visiting Orkos Beach (snacks, water, food, etc.).
Additionally, like every Greek beach during the summer, you should not forget to bring your sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses.
