Agios Prokopios and Plaka.
Walking on the main road to the right at about 300 meters you will reach the
beach of Agios Prokopios with its famous crystal clear aquamarine waters. You can go
to one of the Beach Bars that features like "Kalhua" and if you wish for more quiet you
could go to the other side of the beach towards the chapel.

If you head out on the main road to the left in 1-1,5 km you will reach Plaka
(you can go on foot or by bus). Lovely organized beach where you can enjoy your swim
while there are plenty of options for water sports enthusiasts. I prefer "Mexican"
“Picasso” (for dessert banofee), “Cedar” and “Yazoo” for coffee and drink.

You can not come to Naxos and do not visit Chora! There you will find
everything. For swimming and water sports you can go to the organized beach of Agios
Georgios. It is worth a walk in the streets of the Venetian Castle, a visit to the
Archaeological Museum, a walk on the coast road and a sunset at Portara (Doorlike
ruins of an ancient temple of Apollon standing on a scenic point looking over the city &
sea). For cinema enthusiasts there is the open air cinema "Cine Naxos". For traditional
products, visit the grocery "Tsiblakis", the store of Union of Agricultural Cooperatives
of Naxos and the "Koufopoulos" cheese shop. For food there are lots of choices for all
tastes. I prefer "Yasouvlaki" for souvlaki, "Su e Giou" for pizza on the coast road,
“Typografeio” for gourmet food inside the castle, for ouzo and fish there are many
choises on the coast road and for traditional tastes "Maro’s" and "Elliniko". For ice
cream in the well-known "Waffle House" and for pastry in the award-winning
"Aktaion". It is worth to have a drink at "520", cocktail with citron at "Citron", more
alternative coctails in "Swing" and for night club in "Ocean".

Some words about Naxos
Naxos located in the centre of Cyclades, this is a wonderful island with long
sandy beaches and interesting sightseeing. Holidays in Naxos is particularly perfect for
families or romantic couples. The western side of the island is the most popular and
has long sandy beaches lined up with seaside hotels, restaurants and water sports
centers. The eastern side is more secluded and non-organized. A drive around the
centre of the island brings visitors to traditional villages and interesting historical sites.

Apart from Chora, you will find places with archaeological and historical
interest in other parts of the island. So it is worth visiting the Temple of Demeter in

unfinished statue of light grey Naxian marble with a weight of around 80 tonnes), the

Monastery in the Moni (Ancient stone church with historic carvings & paintings, a bell
tower & a cemetery) and the other Byzantine churches around Halki.
