About
Near Naoussa town, this vibrant strip is a popular retreat. Here, you’ll find amazing beach bars, umbrella rentals, and watersports like kitesurfing, canoeing and windsurfing. Since the beach is within a bay, the shallow shores and calm waters are great for families too. The best part about Santa Maria is the postcard-worthy views of Naxos island. If you’re visiting during the high season in summer, it can get crowded quickly—so arrive early to snag a good spot on the shore. Otherwise, for a more peaceful respite, walk to Mikri Santa Maria further down and enjoy more privacy. – Tripadvisor
