Naxos
Agios Prokopios / Agios Georgios

The main beach strip 5km south of Chora — sand, sunbeds, hotels, and the bus route into town.
Where most first-time Naxos visitors actually stay. Wide white-sand beach, gentle shelf, sunbed-and-umbrella service, and bus-link every 30 minutes to Chora. Agios Georgios is more family-shallow, Prokopios is the long postcard strip. Both come alive May-October only.
