Agios Prokopios Beach

About

Agios Prokopios is a picturesque seaside village nestled on the western coast of Naxos, one of Greece’s most popular Cycladic islands. The main attraction is its long, golden‑sanded beach, famous for its gentle waves and clear Aegean waters – the perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming, and water‑based activities. The village itself hosts a quaint church dedicated to the local saint, a modest resort area known as Stelida nearby, and the famed “Red Lake”, a shallow lagoon that draws herons and other migratory birds each spring. Annual celebrations are held on 8 July, when the village gathers for a religious feast honoring Agios Prokopios. With its relaxed atmosphere, ample beach space, and nearby natural and cultural sites, the town offers a lovely escape for visitors looking to unwind amid Mediterranean charm.
