Aliko Beach, located on the southwest coast of Naxos, Greece, is renowned for its stunning white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The beach is part of a larger coastal area known as the Aliko peninsula, which includes several smaller beaches like Mikro Alyko, Kedros, and Hawaii. Aliko Beach is particularly noted for its proximity to the Kedrodasos forest, a dense cedar forest that is part of the Natura 2000 protected areas. This natural haven provides a serene and isolated experience, though it can become crowded during peak season. The beach is not organized, meaning there are no sunbeds or umbrellas available for rent, so visitors must bring their own. Access is via an asphalt road, and public transportation is available several times a day.
The scenic route to Aliko offers panoramic views of the coastal area, making it a picturesque destination. The nearby area includes a few hotels, studios, and excellent taverns, offering a blend of tranquility and accessibility to amenities.
Aliko Beach is also known for its street art, with an abandoned hotel complex repurposed as a street art museum featuring works by WD Street Art and other artists.
