Panormos Beach (Panermos )

The small beach of Panormos is situated at the end of a short fjord-like bay in the southeast of Naxos. Sheltered from the wind thanks to the protection given it by a peninsula of land to the south, its waters can appear more like a swimming pool than open coastline.

A popular spot for yacht owners to drop anchor for a couple of hours in privacy, these waters are not only warm, but also exceptionally clear, while the sands of the beach are very quiet, and interrupted by nothing more than the odd pebble. Ten fat palm trees rather than umbrellas provide shade from the sun.

A small kiosk is generally open for drinks and snacks during the summer months, but that’s where the amenities of Panormos Beach end.
