Golden beach in Paros

Golden Beach, Paros' most famous beach, is located between Pounda Beach and the village of Drios on the eastern parts of the island. This wind surfer's paradise, also called Chrissi Akti, has a beach that is shallow and covered with fine golden sand, the bottom is soft as a sponge cake and the water is crystal clear. You reach all beaches with your own transport or by local bus from Parikia and Naoussa.
