Descripció de la platja
Staying on Grotta beach, visitors can enjoy the magnificent views of the ancient ruins of Apollo's temple, Portaru, Aegean Sea, and modern buildings of Grotta. Visiting the latter is a wonderful possibility to see the remains of the largest Mycenaean city of naksos, and to take pictures. You can get to the beach on feet by walking from the central square of Hora, or from the port, by driving a car.
Due to strong winds, the sea in the beach area isn't calm, and waves are often high. The sea bottom is rocky, so it is suitable only for swimmers confident about their strength. The beach has no tourist infrastructure, except the small public parking lot and several options of residential lease. Among beach entertainment, Grotta offers snorkeling, allowing to see the ruins of the ancient Mycenaean city of Naksos to take sun baths, and to make a beautiful photoshoot.
When is the best time to go?
Grčka - zemlja dugačke dužine od sjevera do juga, pa će se preporuke razlikovati ovisno o mjestu u koje idete. Sezona godišnjih odmora počinje u maju, a vrhunac dostiže u julu-avgustu: ima previše turista, a temperatura na južnim ostrvima dostiže 40 stepeni, što možda još uvijek ne igra ulogu na plaži, ali svakako nije pogodno za razgledavanje. Dakle, najbolje vrijeme za opuštanje u Grčkoj je kraj proljeća-početak ljeta ili septembar-oktobar.
