Naxos – Agios Prokopios Beach
On what would be considered a cold day in Los Angeles (50 degrees F), I can’t help but think back to my summer in Greece: where the sun would brown my skin, where I would sip on an ice-cold frappe on the beach followed by a dip in the warm, translucent sea…
My favorite beach on Naxos is Agios Prokopios. Instead of sand, you’ll find tiny pebbles that seem to make the water clearer and the beach easier to walk on. Part of the beach is organized, meaning there are lounge chairs with umbrellas as well as restaurants and cafes that will serve you on the beach! Walk down past the people and find yourself alone where there is plenty of privacy.
The best time on the beach for me is the late afternoon when the sun begins to set and the sea is placid — always, a sense of calmness and clarity overtakes my mind and body. (I should mention that the stillness might be interrupted by adorable, but loud Greek kids– since the sun is not as strong around this time, families with babies and small children typically come down to the beach for an afternoon dip in sea.)
