The breathtaking beach of Mikri Vigla on Naxos Island is located 18 kilometers from the capital and consists of two sandy beaches separated by an impressive hill. The northern beach of Mikri Vigla boasts soft golden sand and crystalline turquoise waters and its meltemi winds (north winds specific to the Cyclades) create the ideal ambiance for the sports of windsurfing and kitesurfing. This made the beach internationally a famous kitesurfing and windsurfing spot, hosting two excellent 2 clubs with courses for all levels. The southern beach of Mikri Vigla is a lengthy sandy beach, also called Sahara or Limanakia among the locals, with transparent waters. It is more appropriate for families since it is protected by winds. The cuisine in this area will also be a pleasant surprise.
