Agios Prokopios Beach

A long, west-coast stretch of pale sand and clear water with organised and quieter sections, practical services and useful shelter from the prevailing summer wind.

Our take

The easy all-day beach near Naxos Town

Agios Prokopios is the dependable beach day that balances good water with uncomplicated logistics. The long bay sits a short drive or seasonal bus ride from Naxos Town, with tavernas, cafés, diving and organised stretches close at hand. Walk away from the busiest access points and the beach becomes noticeably calmer.

Its relative shelter makes it a sensible choice when more exposed coasts are uncomfortable, but conditions still change and summer demand is substantial. Arrive before late morning for an easier choice of shade, confirm any sunbed charge before settling in, and leave enough time for a meal rather than treating the resort strip as only a service station.
