Mikri Vigla
Μικρή Βίγλα
A granite headland divides two beaches. The north side is exposed to the wind and is a kitesurfing hotspot, while the south side is calm and suits swimming.
Mikri Vigla lies south of Plaka. A granite headland splits the coast into two parts. The north side, Sikelas Beach, faces the summer meltemi winds and is one of Greece's best-known kitesurfing and windsurfing spots, with several schools offering lessons. The south side is sheltered, with calm water that is good for swimming and snorkelling. A small chapel and a rocky path sit on the headland, and the sunset from here is beautiful. It is about 18 km from Chora, so driving or cycling is recommended.
