Aghia Anna beach, Beach on Naxos, Greece

Aghia Anna beach is a sandy shore on the Greek island of Naxos, in the South Aegean, about 180 km southeast of Athens. It lies on the island's west coast and continues alongside Agios Prokopios. At its southern end, a small fishing port sits at the water's edge, so the beach serves both as a working harbor and a tourist shore.

Aghia Anna grew around a small fishing port that still operates at the southern end of the beach. As tourism developed on Naxos, the shoreline beside the harbour changed into a beach destination, while the port remained in use. The settlement and the beach are not documented as having become the island's most frequented shore.

The beach is about 6 miles (roughly 10 km) from Naxos Town and easy to reach by bus, car, or bike along a paved road. Arriving in the morning gives you the best chance of finding a spot on the organized section, which fills up quickly in summer.

A water taxi runs directly from the beach to Piso Livadi on the nearby island of Paros, making it possible to island-hop without taking a large ferry. Most visitors do not realize this crossing is available right from the shore.
