New Golden Beach or Tserdakia is a superb beach with crystal clear waters, wind and kite surfers are venturing from here towards Makronisi Island less than a nautical mile to the East, the beach faces the South and alike the most beaches in the island is straight accessible from the road.Ĭontinuing to the south, Golden Beach reveals its grandness, facing to the Southeast with more than a kilometre of thin white sand and crystal waters this is my personal favourite one. Punda beach offers shelter from northerlies while the thin white sand out and inside the water makes it more than appealing for swimming and water fun.
GOLDEN BEACH PAROS FULL
Right after the corner facing to the Southeast lies the famous Pounda beach, where huge beach clubs offering full day activities and tons of fun for the younger ones are the focal point for this segment of visitors. Moving south, Pisso Livadi and Logaras will offer nice memories either in shelter or more exposed sceneries with immediate access from the road numerous fish taverns strategically located in vicinity will consequently become the next standpoint to enjoy seafood with Ouzo while gazing the sea after swimming. The usual scene in summer time is a beach full of bodies fully covered with dark mud that are lying under the sun like lizards, try it and you will not regret it. Just south of Molos lies Kalogeros bay with the unique in the island argyle based sand, after this element became known for its wellbeing nature and properties, the beach became crowded ever since. Molos Bay is dictated by a long sandy shallow beach that kids can safely swim with almost all weather conditions, wind will be encountered there but without high waves hence this can be an ideal spot for the ones that wish to swim regardless the environmental conditions. Moving Southwards on the East coast we encounter smaller beaches from Filizi Islets up to Molos bay that similar conditions may be expected when northern winds prevail whereas they stand as ideal shelter for South and South-westerly winds. It cannot be a coincidence that such watersports emerged here some decades ago before becoming trend in general. Moving to the North East, Santa Maria Bay that faces Naxos City acts as the scenery for different experiences, here the waves will not smash in the sheltered beaches of Mikri Santa and Santa Maria on the North but the majority of easterly facing beaches in the bay will be the ideal site for wind and kite surfers due to choppy seas and in windy days.
Here even in windy gales when Meltemi winds prevail there is a shelter to swim without rip currents and smashing waves to challenge, landscape is unique and Kolymbithres due to shallow waters has probably the warmest waters in the island. In Naoussa Bay, Monastiri, Kolymbithres and Lageri are the most famous beaches but not the only ones, water is clear and access is easy from the road. Apart of this wild part, all the rest of the island’s coast comprises of a combination of mild rocky corners with sandy beaches that are facing all directions of the horizon. This part of coast lies plain and dry with rocky landscape that ends in stiff edges until the sea. Paros is privileged to have numerous beaches almost to the whole of its coast line sole exemption is the Northwest coast from the Agios Fokas Cape in the northernmost end of Paroikia Bay up to Cape Korakas that marks the Northern entry of Naoussa Bay.
I can still associate the memories with the feeling of freedom and alignment with nature when my bare foot was immersing in warm sand and this feeling comes still vivid in my memory decades after. If there was one thing that I never became bored of, it is the sandy beaches of Paros where I grew up and stepped my foot in the crystal blue water. Even if there is no argument that Paros beauty cannot be questionable, what mostly come in mind from those days is her gorgeous beaches all around the coastline. The most of time for my summers until my teenage years were always spent in Paros island back in the 80s where life, people and habits were different and the island offered generously its warmth to its visitors. Blue skies, seas and clear air in my lungs are the background of all my memory flashbacks. Feeling blessed to be raised in Aegean Sea I cannot but recall with the warmest memories my childhood summer days.
