Moutsouna Beach is a tranquil and secluded destination located on the eastern coast of Naxos, Greece. It is part of a small fisherman's village, offering a nostalgic charm with its historical emery mining past still visible in the remains of the emery train and cableway. The beach is divided into two smaller beaches, Ai Giannis and Tigani, both featuring fine sand and clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The area is surrounded by picturesque taverns offering fresh seafood and local dishes, enhancing the overall serene and peaceful atmosphere.
The scenic drive to Moutsouna from Naxos Town via Apiranthos village is breathtaking, though the road becomes narrow and steep after Apiranthos. Visitors are advised to rent a car or motorbike due to limited local transportation. Despite its remote location, Moutsouna Beach becomes more lively during peak tourist seasons but retains its secluded charm during off-peak times.
The village's historical significance and natural beauty make it a must-visit for those seeking a unique beach experience on Naxos.
