Agios Prokopios Beach
Άγιος Προκόπιος
Naxos's best-known beach, with about 1.5 km of golden sand and clear blue water, repeatedly named among Europe's finest beaches.
Agios Prokopios Beach lies about 5 km south of Chora. The crescent-shaped beach is roughly 1.5 km long, with fine golden sand and clear water that shelves gradually. Several travel publications have ranked it among Europe's most beautiful beaches. The northern end is livelier, with beach bars and restaurants renting sunbeds, while the southern end, close to Agia Anna, is quieter. The salt lake at the northern side attracts waterbirds in winter and spring. In summer, buses run to Chora roughly every half hour, or you can cycle there.
