Elia Beach
Παραλία Ελιά
One of Mykonos' longest sandy beaches, with a curving bay of fine sand, clear water, and a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a full day of lounging.
Elia Beach lies in the middle of the south coast and is one of the longest sandy beaches on the island. Its golden sand stretches in a curve, the sea is crystal clear, and the shallows are gentle. One side of the beach has resort hotels and several restaurants, with a full range of sun lounger and umbrella rentals. The other end is quieter and has traditionally been a naturist area and an LGBT-friendly zone. Compared with Paradise Beach, the mood here is more relaxed, which suits couples and people who want to swim in peace. You can take a bus from Fabrika bus station in Chora (more services run in summer), or reach it by water taxi from Platis Gialos, passing several bays along the coast.
