tammynordan01 Posted February 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We plan to do Mykonos on our own. We'd like to walk around the town and have some time on the beach. We'll be there the first week of September. Can you recommend a beach? Should we take a taxi and ask the person to come back and pick us up? Any advice is appreciated!

Rare Hlitner Posted February 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2016 There are quite a few beaches and the ultimate decision should depend on whether you prefer a quiet near desserted strip of sand, or a pretty well developed beach with facilities, When it comes to the latter we really enjoy spending a day at Paradise Beach where there are eating and rest room facilities (and even a pool) as well as chair/umbrella rentals. You can get there cheaply by just taking the local bus (from the bus station located near the windmills in town) or a taxi. If you go to Paradise, find its too developed or crowded for your taste, and have the time....you can take a water taxi from Paradise Beach to Super Paradise Beach which is still developed but slightly more laid back.

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Very easy to do. There are lots of place to eat in town. From there you can go to a nearby beach or negotiate to go to one via taxi. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain99 Posted February 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Celebrity offer transfer for Elia Beach. Some informations about this place? beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2016 We were three couples in Mykonos and lunch time weren't all that hungry. We stopped in a nice restaurant and asked if they would make us Greek Salads and sandwiches/cold drinks to go and they were fine about doing that. We ate on the sea wall on one of the most beautiful days ever and never enjoyed a sandwich and salad so much. :) It was glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji4] That is pretty much what we did, and this shows Paradise beach (mentioned by Hank). We went by bus, approx €2 each way.

Rare Hlitner Posted March 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Celebrity offer transfer for Elia Beach. Some informations about this place? beach? A bit rocky for my taste but still a nice beach. Personally, if a cruise line has an excursion going to a beach.....we run (not walk) to a different beach :). Elia is well developed (good or bad depending on your point of view) and can be very crowded (like several other beaches) on a busy summer day.

Venus70 Posted March 6, 2016 #13 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Elia Beach is the longest beach in Mykonos. Its beautiful but could get very crowded, especially if the Cruise Ships are in town. However, it does have all the facilities including some nice restaurants. You can always walk over the rocks (on the right side) to Agrari Beach which is not as commercial.

Robin G Posted April 11, 2016 #21 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I've been researching several options for beaches on Mykonos. I'm seeing a lot of statements to the fact that there are alot of nudist party beaches, loud music, and such. Is that accurrate or exaggerated? I'm looking for a nice family friendly beach with chair and umbrella rentals, bathroom facilities and restaurants. Thanks for your feedback.
