Mikri Vigla a master piece of art, is a seaside settlement with a 4 Km long beach.
The sand is fine and white and it is one of the best in Naxos Island. The northern part of Mikri Vigla is called Parthena and the southern is called Sahara.
North and south parts are divided by a peninsula where rock formations created some coves.
On the way to Kastraki - Alyko there is a sign to Mikri Vigla. Turn to the right and after 4 km there is a "T" junction.
The right direction (to the north) leads to a beautiful beach (also called Parthena - first picture on the right) exposed to the
North winds -in other words, ideal for wind surfing.
The left road leads to the beginning (Mikri Vigla or Sahara, second picture on the right) of a magnificent, huge, coarse sand sea shore that sweeps all the way past Kastraki as far Alyko.
It is an excellent resort with a choice of water sports and it is the paradise of the wind and kite surfers.
Vigla is the natural continuation of Plaka and Orkos.
The southern boundary of Mikri Vigla ends where Kastraki and then Alyko beach begins.
