Mikri Vigla -Southern bay, Sandy beach on Naxos island, Greece.
Mikri Vigla southern bay is a sandy beach with pale sand and clear water, sheltered by rocky hills on either side. The southern section slopes gently into the sea and features a large rocky outcrop near the shore.
The bay sits on ancient shipping lanes connecting mainland Greece to eastern islands and served vessels as a natural harbor. Its position made it a key waypoint for trading ships across many centuries.
The southern bay attracts visitors who enjoy local tavernas nearby, where fishing remains woven into daily life. People here naturally linger by the water to watch small boats moored in the cove.
The beach offers natural shade under the surrounding cliffs and has parking nearby. Visitors are advised to arrive early or visit in quieter seasons to enjoy the calmer side of the shoreline.
The southern section is locally called Sahara and has water that ranges from very shallow to about 3 meters deep. A solitary rock rises from the water about 200 meters offshore, creating a striking focal point.
