Evia's longest beach at nine kilometers, mixing organized waterfront energy with wild, empty stretches of Aegean coastline. Tavernas, nightlife, nearby caves, and freedom.
Agia Anna is where Evia shows off. Stretching for a staggering nine kilometers along the wild Aegean coast, this is the longest beach on the entire island — a seemingly endless ribbon of coarse sand and pebbles backed by lush vegetation. Just around 200 year-round residents, but in summer the population swells to 2,000. The main beach has sunbeds, tavernas, cafes, and beach bars. Walk north to reach Sarakiniko, a wilder section with postcard-perfect turquoise water. Venture further and the crowd thins to almost nothing. Agia Anna has long been associated with free camping, drawing tent-dwellers who pitch under tamarisk trees. It is a place that can be as social or solitary as you want.

Late June through early September. July-August liveliest. For quieter experience, aim for mid-June or September.
From Chalkida: ~60 km northeast via Prokopi (~1 hour). From Athens: ~2.5-3 hours via Chalkida.
Walk north past the main beach to Sarakiniko — significantly quieter, feels like a different world. The further you walk along nine kilometers, the fewer people. Bring water, hat, towel — create your own private beach. Check wind forecasts — the Aegean side gets strong meltemi in August. Waves can be substantial.
