Plaža Kedros (Alyko)
Grèce · South Aegean
Kedros beach, also known as Alyko on the southern peninsula of Naxos, is a wild corner surrounded by juniper dunes and small turquoise coves. It is a popular spot for its exotic and tranquil setting, with stunning views of the southern island's reliefs. Locals come here for the peaceful atmosphere and kitesurfing sessions in a preserved environment.
Easily accessible from Naxos town via a road south through Glinado, the beach is located at the tip of the peninsula. It alternates between two small bays separated by rocks, offering a medium-sized launch area. It is a family-friendly place, ideal for nature lovers looking to combine swimming and riding.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The Alyko-Kedros spot is exposed to winds from the north, north-west, and north-north-west, with a perfect side-shore for the dominant Meltemi. The launch and take-off area is medium-sized, on a sandy beach between two rocky bays. The navigation space is flat to choppy, with flat water in the center and moderate chop; small to medium waves form with west or south-west winds. The central area is the safest for launching and landing, avoiding the rocks at the ends of the bays. No tidal influence, the spot always works the same. During sessions, stay in the main bay to avoid drifting towards rocky areas or dunes.
