Usually strong winds always blow here, but this year it was a beautiful, calm day, beautiful sea and beach, wonderful colours.
BUT we stopped at the only yellow umbrellas and deckchairs that are near a hotel, there was no sign indicating costs etc etc
As always we sit on 2 umbrellas and 4 sunbeds in total waiting for the boy to pay
After a while a boy from the nearby hotel came and said that the 2 umbrellas and deckchairs cost a total of €100!!!!! 😂😂😂
Obviously, like everyone else, we left
It was a way to chase away people who are not customers of the hotel's exclusive club.. it didn't say private.. but as if it were..😒
So in the middle of the day with the heat we left in search of other solutions..
so in fact there are no umbrellas or deck chairs, there is a modern bar/restaurant nearby.
It's a shame because the sea is beautiful

Like all Naxian beaches Vigla is amazing although too crowded in Augast...It's a beach for surfers and kite lovers because of the waves....So do not expect waters like Agios Prokopios .... But it's worth visiting because of its wild beauty

After visiting almost all beaches in Naxos, we are certain this is the best. It’s a place to relax and enjoy swimming. We booked Naxian Breeze rooms. The noise from nearby construction was unbearable....until we found this little paradise!
If you like privacy, this is the place for you!!

One of the best beaches in Naxos. About 25 min drive down the coast from the main town. Drive is beautiful along the coast and through the local villages. Lots of places to stop and enjoy the water and scenery. Mikri Vigla was beautiful with lots of chairs and amenities if needed (7 euros for 2). The beach goes for miles and swimming is awesome. Water is deep enough to enjoy with some waves to make it fun. You see Catamarans stop by off the coast and have people enjoy the beautiful blue waters. There is one taverna on the beach that has everything you could want. Lunch doesn’t start til 1pm but it opens earlier for drinks and coffees. Great day at Mikri Vigla beach.

Very beautiful beach with fine sand and a very nice sight with a rock at the edge of the beach. There are two beach bars with a sunbed charge and also a tavern with a bar to supply take away drinks and coffees. Large beach so with an umbrella and mats it is ideal as there is plenty of time for everyone to sit.

Our favorite beach, extremely long, always calm sea despite the wind. Breathtaking landscapes. A local tavern on the beach always ready to satisfy the craving for food and/or drink.
Parking very large and close

Fantastic beaches with few but good restaurants. The road there can be a little bumpy dirt road but worth the trouble. On the north side windy with lovely waves, surfers and fantastic beach with several different accommodations. On the south side, a long, quiet sandy beach with some rentable sunbeds. Everything is a bit out of the way so your own vehicle is a must but definitely worth the trip here.

Naxos has many nice beaches but this one is tops. Mikri Viglia is on the south west side of Naxos (just further south from Plaka beach). This part of the island is more rural and you'll find quite a few dirt roads which give you access to the beaches. Don't be concerned about the road conditions. They're perfectly fine. There are a number of beaches in the area and you can swim wherever you like. On one side of the bay where the wind is in full force you'll find many doing parasailing and windsurfing. The other side of side of the bay which is further south is completely protected from the wind and the waters are very calm. The water is crystal clear with different shades of aqua and blue. The sand is fine and clean. There are chairs and umbrella services and the Taverna named after the beach Mikri Vigla Restaurant offers great food.
The beach also offers a couple of small coves and interesting rock formations from which to jump off into the aqua water. Enjoy!

The number 15 bus from Naxos Town will take you here in 40 minutes for 2.5 euros single. The bus timetable varies throughout the season. When we went (Sept 23) the first bus was 11am and the last return 5.30pm, check before you leave you have to pre purchase your tickets from the kiosk at the port, Best buy return tickets at the same time. The beach is excellent, with a good taverna and beds 5 euro for 2 + umbrella.

Hi there, wondering about this particular beach, and how calm the water is. I know it's not perfectly predictable, but we love it calm, calm and calm.

It depends on the winds, it might be calm or rough! Nevertheless its beautiful. You may also want to go to the beach further down, Parthena beach, or Liofago or Orkos beach or Plaka beach. Depends the time of the year, usually July & August we have the meltemi period winds that the surfers will for sure enjoy!

Good morning,
I’d like to enquire about the semi-private cruises you have to offer
Sunset cruise – 5 hours @ € 125 p/p
Or
Day cruise – 5 hours @ € 125 p/p
This would be for 19th September, and for 2 ladies.
It is my daughter’s birthday on the 19th , and also our last day in Santorini, so I would like to do something special for her.
Would you be able to accommodate us on the day, or can you possibly suggest another cruise?
