Somewhere to get away from it all, Alyko is in a natural reserve in the southwest of Naxos.
This reserve is spread out over a cape indented with rock, shingle and sandy coves, one of which is Alyko Beach to the south.
Being a natural park, there are no signs of tourism at these beaches, apart from the ruins of an unfinished hotel atop a promontory.
The nearest taverna is just outside the park’s limits, a few hundred metres east of Alyko Cove.
