Naxos ranked among Europe’s best beach destinations

·

Renowned for its pristine white sands and crystal-clear Aegean waters, the Cycladic island of Naxos has secured a spot among Europe’s top beach destinations, according to a recent reader poll conducted by The Guardian.

The British publication’s readers highlighted various coastal gems across the continent, praising their natural beauty and charm. Alongside Naxos, beaches in Corsica, western France, Croatia, Sweden, Gran Canaria, Calabria, Bodrum, and Catalonia were also recognized.

Kastraki’s Unparalleled Appeal

Within The Guardian’s feature, readers singled out Kastraki as a standout among Naxos’ many beautiful beaches. They described it as possessing a rare and exceptional allure, with its soft, powdery sand merging seamlessly with a sea that glows in shades from soft blue to vivid turquoise.

Global Recognition at the Greek Travel Awards

Naxos’ growing reputation was further cemented by international recognition at the recent Greek Travel Awards in London, held after the WTM tourism exhibition. The island earned the title of Top Sustainable Destination, following a structured evaluation and public vote organized by the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO).

This honor highlights the continued efforts of the Municipality of Naxos and the Small Cyclades, which have launched multiple sustainability projects and recently hosted a familiarization trip for tourism professionals and journalists, in partnership with GNTO’s UK office.
