About Grotta Beach
A pebbly shore just north of Naxos Town and behind the Portara, the Temple of Apollo gateway. The summer meltemi drives glass up into the pebbles. Submerged ancient remains offshore are a marked archaeological zone.
Sea glass at Grotta Beach
A good amount of glass in the pebbles.
Visiting Grotta Beach
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and follow the collecting rules above.
