Blanketing a wild stretch of western coastline on Naxos, the Cedar Forest of Alyko is a protected and unspoiled area. Thick tangles of cedar, juniper, heather, wild thyme, and other Mediterranean flora cover the dunes, which border golden sand beaches. The water here shimmers in a dozen shades of blue. Ideal for walkers and swimmers, the peninsula offers a quiet retreat far from the tourist crowds. Visitors can explore the natural landscape and enjoy the serene beauty of this secluded spot.
