For a convenient afternoon of sun, sea and sand, Agios Georgios beach is right on the southern edge of Chora.
And being so close to the town, this beach is cleaner and more welcoming than it has any right to be.
There a slender but long curve of pale, slightly course, sand facing Paros across the strait.
The remarkable thing about Agios Georgios is just how far out you have to wade before the sea gets above waist height, which is music to the ears of people travelling with little ones.
