Agios Prokopios
Widely considered one of the best beaches in Greece. Fine golden sand, crystal-clear water, and full amenities (sunbeds, tavernas, water sports). Can get busy in August but the beach is long enough to accommodate everyone.

Best Beaches in Naxos
Plaka
A long, unspoiled stretch of sand with a more natural feel. Less developed than Agios Prokopios, with scattered sunbeds and a few beach bars. Ideal for those who want space, long walks, and a quieter atmosphere.
Mikri Vigla
Famous for windsurfing and kitesurfing thanks to reliable winds. The beach is split into two coves separated by a small headland. A relaxed, bohemian atmosphere with two excellent beach bars.
Agia Anna
A smaller, more sheltered beach adjacent to Agios Prokopios. Calmer waters, good for families, with a compact strip of tavernas and rooms. Easy access and a pleasant seaside village feel.
Aliko & Panormos
Two quieter beaches on the southwest coast. Aliko is a small sandy cove surrounded by cedar trees. Panormos is a larger, more secluded bay with a few tavernas. Both are less crowded and offer a more relaxed experience.
