Naxos / Naxos Beach Guide

Agia Anna, lies after St Prokopios beach - one can say it is its extension. It took its name from the small white chapel which is located in the top of the hill of Agia Anna.  

The biggest part is sandy but there are points where it's rocky, the area around the small church is rocky (nudists beach).  

The village of Agia Anna is smaller than Agios Prokopios but still offers good facilities to tourists, nice fish tavernas, open disco bars, coffee shops can be found also here. The small fishing port of Agia Anna is picturesque. There one sees the fishing boats sailing early in the evening and coming back the next morning full of fishes.  

The area behind the chapel of Agia Anna is unique for the beauty of its nature, covered from small cedar trees, that only grow in Egypt and Naxos. This small part is always Green, even in the middle of the summer.

Agios Prokopios, is 6 klms from Naxos town. It can be easily reached by bus (bus departs every 20-30 mins during the season). It is the second popular tourist area on the island after Naxos town and the 3rd best beach in the whole Greece due to its marvellously clear water and the great quality of sand, mostly composed of rice sized grains of creamy marble.

The village of Agios Prokopios offers all facilities, restaurants, small bars, super market, tourist information, telephone, internet facilities etc…

In the biggest part of St Prokopios beach, umbrellas, sun beds and sea sports can be found.

Alyko is the most quiet area on the west-side part of the island. This area is a combination of wonderful sugar-white sandy beaches and the natural beauty of the mainland where cedar-trees and mastic trees grow.

It is the natural extension of Mikri Vigla. Agali is the main beach in Kastraki, and it is 3 klms long.

One can say it's one of the most wonderful beaches in the Mediteranean sea. It combines white blinding sand, very clean sea and a quiet mainland.

As the asphalt stops in Agia Anna the majority of the tourists remain in Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna. The road continues though and leads to Maragas and Plaka beaches both offering much to lovers of peace, solitude and the beauties of Nature.  

In the biggest part of these beaches nudism is allowed, there are few parts with sun beds and umbrellas. Sea sports are available only at Maragas beach. There are few restaurants, supermarkets and two camping sites fully equipped in accordance with the rules laid down by the National Organization of Tourism (E.O.T.)
