The beach is located in the northeast part of the island near Apollo village, about 35 km from Naxos Town. Access to the beach is by the ring road. You can leave the car on the side of the road and start a descent on foot, on a dirt track lasting about 15 minutes. It is recommended that visitors have sneakers.
Once you reach the end of the path, you see a beach of unique beauty, where you can enjoy swimming in its warm and very clear waters. You can also have a picnic and take a lot of pictures of the diverse pebbles that get your attention. The ideal time to visit Agios Fykas is in the early afternoon, for a quick dive.
