Holidays in Mykonos

Cruises and Coastal Activities

• Sail in a catamaran to Rhenia or take a boat trip to Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Iconic beaches (must‑see)

• Psarou – sheltered, turquoise bay lined with stylish loungers and yacht‑tender drop‑offs.
• Paradise & Super Paradise – south‑coast neighbours famous for glass‑clear water by day and beach‑party beats by dusk.
• Elia – the island’s longest strand, blending water‑sports kiosks with quieter pockets beyond the sunbeds.
   

Relaxing beaches (locals’ picks)

• Agios Sostis – unorganised cove of golden sand and back‑to‑basics calm for crowd‑free dips.
• Fokos – remote, cliff‑backed shore ideal for solitude seekers and sunset picnics.
• Kapari – tiny hideaway near Agios Ioannis, reached by a short dirt path and loved for serene sunsets over Delos.

Viewpoints & Sunsets
