agia anna beach

FirasES

Well, it is a steep way down, and you would find a narrow rocky beach with pebbles and huge rocks laying around. It is beautiful there and the water is fabulously clear with fish swimming around.

This small beach, closed to the Monestery, is know because of the making of the film "Le grand Bleu", with Jean Reno, the small church, was on the film. That's why you find so many french on this island.

the small chapel above the mini bay is like a ivory jewel on the blue egean there no sand small stones maybe to many people in a too little (but so charming) place in the vicinity other crowdy beaches

The sea has a 'multi-blue' colour combination, the beach is small and secluded and you feel in a natural swimming pool.

Agia Anna is a small but very nice beach further down from the monastry. The water is crystal clear and if you swim out you can see the monastry high up in the hill. Nice view!There is a little taverna close to the beach. There are a few buses to the beach, or you can take a taxi.

Two very small beaches, beautiful rocks to dive, such a beautiful sea.We have gone twice with our 5 y.son, but if the there are winds and your child doesnt know good swimming, then thisnt the best beach for children.

This is a big Must-Go! The experience starts with the steep descending road down to the beach (a bit like the road that takes you down to the port in Santorini). The mountains are so high and so imposing that it is overwhelming. The famous local monastery is like a small dot on them, when looked at from the sea. The beach is actually a scattering of many different places: a big rock as you go down with coves left and right, and there is more if you walk further to the right side. An added bonus is that this a clothes-optional place. Two decades ago it was full of nude people. Nowadays, the nudist part has shrank. Still, depending on the day you go naked even at the very front, on the immediate right of the big rock (avoid doing so on the left side, under the small chapel). On the far right beach one can find the nudist core - avoid going there if you do not want to take off some of your swimming attire.

Besson filmed part of The Big Blue there, and it is easy to see why--clear waters, endless horizon, and a great bonus-the hidden view of the monastery once one is in the sea. Slightly difficult to climb down, but the snack bar at the top of the staircase more than compensates.

It is small place, can get crowded easily(30 - 40 pax) try going early morning, to avoid the crowd.It is very clean and blue water, its with pebbles, no sand, perfect for snorkeling. It is quite a drive from main ports like Katapola and Aegali, definitely closer from Katapola. If you are staying at Chora, its 10 mins drive max. Make your trip together with the Monastery, as it is on the way. Nothing special, yet clean blue water, which i find almost on every cyclades island now. If you are close by, do visit it, it is worth a swim :)It is in quite isolated place, no sun beds, or shops, absolutely nothing. So be prepared when yo go there with water, sheets to stay on, almost everything you need. There is a small bar before the stairs, that's all.It is really small place.

The beach (mostly rocks) are perhaps not the most comfortable but the clean blue (!) ocean is great!!! I can for surerecomend this place!!

Visitors of Hozoviotissa Monastery, have the opportunity to come to this nearby beach and cool themselves after climbing up the monastery.Unfortunately it's often crowdwed, but worths a short diving here.

This beach lies beneath immense cliffs and has a beautiful chapel, but it is too small (with 10 people on it it is full)

Madhavananda

This is one of the nicest beaches in Greece. Coming from Australia we are pretty spoilt for choice with plenty of empty white sand oasis like beaches, however this place was something else all together. The water was unbelievably clear, and the colour was simply amazing. It is small, and can get crowded, but definitely make the visit. I will definitely return agin and again.

Is very convenient that you can go to this beach and then visit the monastery of Chozoviotissa!You have to walk a little but the view will compensate you!!!!
