Mikri Vigla & Orkos Beaches

Orkos beach (photo on the left) is located at the end of Plaka Beach. It is a quiet place with fine sand and beautiful sea.

Mikri Vigla (located south of Orkos Beach) is a brilliant beach resort with turquoise waters and fine sand. A headland divides Mikri Vigla into two sections. The north section is called Parthena (after the chapel of Parthena on the so named islet) and the south section is called Limanaki. Parthena is exposed to north winds and it is the best place on the island for wind & kite surfing and in recent years Mikri Vigla and Orkos has become a surfers' meeting place from all over the world. There are water sport facilities, equipment rentals and training centre with experienced instructors. The southern section (Limanaki) is protected from north winds and it has sparkling turquoise waters with white, soft & fine sand.
