Practical

Greeka: mostly organised with sunbeds and umbrellas; beach bars and watersports at the south end; the unorganised north end near the chapel is quieter. A small pinkish salt lake behind it attracts birds (see Alyki Lagoon Wetland (Naxos)). Bus line 1 from Chora; 6 km from the port. For anchoring off the beach see Agios Prokopios Anchorage (Naxos). Blue Fin Divers is on the beach. Some reviewers mention wind, crowds and no public toilets. Position: OSM beach relation centroid.
