7Apella Beach, Karpathos
Often described as one of the most stunning beaches in Greece, Apella Beach in Karpathos feels wonderfully remote despite its growing reputation. Surrounded by steep green mountains and dense pine forests, this cove opens onto dazzling turquoise water that looks almost unreal in the sunlight.
The road leading down is winding and dramatic, which helps keep large crowds away. Once you arrive, the atmosphere feels raw and peaceful. The beach itself is made up of smooth pebbles, and the water deepens quickly, making it ideal for swimming.
What makes Apella special is its untouched setting. There are few facilities, and the landscape remains natural and unspoiled. The contrast between the deep blue sea and the rugged cliffs creates a sense of isolation that makes it easy to forget the rest of the world.
Instead of rushing from attraction to attraction, Naxos invites you to stay awhile and explore gradually, discovering new corners each day.
