Light sand beach sheltered from the wind.

The west coast of Naxos is a wonderfully relaxing place to cycle. from the capital Chora it goes south. You should take the Stelida peninsula with you to climb a few meters. Then further south through Agios Prokopios and Agia Anna - most of the time right along the beach. at some point it is time to look back at this magnificent and seemingly endless beach. Recommendation: definitely experience the sunset on the beach.

There are various stories about the ruin on the Internet. The remains can be seen here today and the ruins are a kind of open-air gallery of street artists, such as the Indonesian artist "Wild Drawing" (WD) or the Greek artist "Skitsofrenis".

The portraits from the 8th-9th Century were painted over, but could gradually be uncovered again.
