Naxos Sahara beach (Limanakia)

Information about Sahara beach (Limanakia)

Sahara Naxos: In the continuation of Mikri Vigla Beach, the beach of Sahara (or Limanakia) is located just behind it and is a large and calm beach with golden sand and limpid waters. A restaurant can be found just behind the beach and an other is located about 100 metres south and proposes a few rooms for rent.

Sahara Beach is a calmer alternative to Mikri Vigla for windsurfers who want to escape the crowd of the popular beaches like Mikri Vigla. People congregate in the right hand corner near to the headland because there is less wind here. The area is also great for snorkeling. Maybe the best place on the island.
