For your own convenience it is adviseable to carry your own beach equipment, which you must remove upon your departure.

We have decided against building special structures for shading or providing beach services as these alter the traditional character of the island, inhibit the beautiful view for swimmers and reduce available space on small beaches.

Strong waves are likely to occur by ships which sail close by, so it is recommended that you place your personal belongings at least 3m. away from the sea.

Nudism is something not all swimmers find acceptable,therefore, it is important to refrain from it on all the beaches in our area.

There are three small bays in the area of Chondros Kavos (near the area of Harokopou) where our four-legged friends can enjoy their swim undisturbed without creating problems for other swimmers.

Racket ball games should be avoided on busy beaches,since many swimmers consider these to be a very annoying & noisy activity.

You are kindly requested to remove your cigarettes butts when you leave the beach.

Dispose of your rubbish in the bins or bags available in the area.

As there is no other way to ensure unlimited fresh water supply, a desalination plant has been built on the island to meet water supply needs. During the months of increased demand,that is, July & August, please avoid unnecessary water consumption, in order to help ensure adequate water supply for everyone.

The island being small makes walking around or cycling enjoyable. Alternatively, you can move from place to place by small boats or local buses.

You are kindly requested to use your vehicles as little as possible & observe traffic signs. Within the settlement maximum speed limit is 20km/h, as vehicles create an intense problem to the area.

Park your vehicles exclusively in public or private parking lots. Parking alongside roads & beaches is strictly forbidden and there are regular inspections to ensure this. A fine is given to those who disregard this.

Parking at the port area is allowed only on your departure, while parking is only allowed for commercial/tourist vehicles 30 minutes before & until the arrival of the ship.

Please dispose of your waste only in the community rubbish bins. Disposal of litter anywhere else is strictly forbidden.

In order to avoid infection outbreaks, no bins have been placed in the main alley of the settlement. Please dispose of your litter in a store bin.

Recyclable material should be carried to the green shed that the community has built in cooperation with Polytechnic School in the area of the tourist port. This is then transported to the Recycling Material Sorting Site in Naxos.

Please do not dive into the sea from great heights, as it is very dangerous & there have been very serious cases of accidents in the past.

Do not approach cliffs & rock edges as they are very likely to recede, thus posing a threat for your life.

Landslides & falls of small rocks are a common phenomenon so you should be alert especially on the route of Platia Pounta-Pori, Gala & Xylombatis.

Please do not approach the coastline or beaches. The minimum approach distance is set, according to regulations, at 200m. on unmarked beaches & at 100m. from the signaling point on marked ones.

Do not park boat trailers on the pier or in public areas (beaches, community open spaces) & do not dock your boats in the small ports / bays of the island as they are intended to accommodate the small boats that transport swimmers and visitors.

Reduce speed greatly when you are near beaches or the coastline.

Do not dispose of waste in the sea.

The tourist shelter of the island is insured, there is staff at your service, mooring, lighting, power & water pillars, WC, showers, WiFi, a recycling hut, trash cans, ramp for raising - launching boats.
