Beaches

Relaxing beaches in Mykonos

Escape the party scene to relax and rejuvenate on quiet stretches of beachy paradise in Mykonos.

Located near the chapel of Agios Ioannis, Kapari Beach offers views across to Delos and a sandy stretch free from sunbeds or beach bars. Stay for incredible sunset views.
Far from the popular southern beaches, Fokos rests within a scenic, rocky bay on the northern side of the island. Other than a traditional tavern, there’s no development to interrupt nature’s beauty.
Lia Beach is organised with sunbeds and colourful umbrellas, but it retains a relaxing vibe across a wide stretch of white sand. Take your mask and snorkel to explore the underwater world around rocky outcrops.
Take the small path down to the protected cove of Agio Sostis, one of the island’s unspoiled beaches. You’ll enjoy views of the surrounding hills and around 250 metres of white sand for strolling.
Pack a picnic and water for a trip to the island’s northeast tip and the beaches of Pano and Kato Tigani. Serenity is assured with nothing but rocky landscapes and transparent waters in the vicinity.

Beaches in Mykonos

Holidays in Mykonos offer front row seats to some of the most spectacular beaches in Greece.

The party’s always pumping on Paradise Beach. Start your day with jet skiing and hire a sunbed to chill out. As the afternoon fades to night, beach bars, clubs and lounges set the scene for fun. Nearby Super Paradise Beach offers a similar vibe.
Famous for its celebrity fans, Psarou Beach beckons with a bay framed by calm, turquoise water and golden sand. If you’re visiting in summer, you’ll need to reserve sunbeds and tables at a range of parties and events.
Sunbeds and umbrellas coat the sand at Elia Beach, one of the island’s longest and most popular. This is another party beach, with international DJs rocking the tunes at beach bars along the coast.
You’ll find Mykonos hotels practically spilling onto the sand at Platis Gialos. With boat trips, water sports and shallow water, this is a top spot for families.
Within walking distance of Platis Gialos, Paraga is separated by a headland that creates a calm section in the south and party-central at the northern end.

History and culture in Mykonos

It’s not all about dazzling beaches and nightlife in Mykonos. Ancient sites, mythology and museums let you delve into fascinating history.

Visit the Monastery of Paleokastro, a whitewashed Cycladic structure perched on a hill near Ano Mera. It dates from the 18th century and once housed a nunnery.

Immerse in the past with wreck diving in the magical waters of the Aegean. Explore new and old ships, including the Anna II cargo ship that now houses a colourful artificial reef.

Kopanisti is an aromatic cheese and a Mykonos speciality that’s famous throughout Greece. Enjoy the creamy, thick texture spread across fresh bread.
