Now, although I may have only visited Mykonos once and so my advice may seem a little bit eager, I can only write this post because on the third day in Mykonos we rented a quad bike and travelled around the island to find secluded beaches and lovely spots. By this I mean we may have crossed the island 4 times and seen pretty much every single beach in remote locations, so here are my favourite spots that we saw or passed on our day exploring the island!
1. Fokos and Mersini beaches- Our first stop of the day was over on the north east of the island. Fokos beach was long as sweeping with only about 15 people on but we decided, due to the advice of our hotel, to follow the path up and over the hill to another beach called Mersini.
Mersini, very like Fokos had pale blue waters but there was only 3 other people there and finally felt like we had found our secluded patch of paradise. The water was perfect for snokelling, the family next to us managed to even catch some fish, and the water was so calm and clear.
2. Unnamed beach- Talking about remote beaches, this one doesn't even appear to have a name. The closest beach to it is Lia beach, but instead of following the road down to the beach you turn left and head up along the hills and windy lanes until you eventually reach a small field near some villas.
From there you need to walk 500m down to the beach. Yes it is a little tricky to get to, I would say for scooters it would not be possible, but it is definitely worth it. The views are stunning and although somehow the beach is a little busier than Fokos an Mersini it is still worth a visit. The wind also seems to pick up a little more in the bay so will help to keep you slightly cooler at midday. The beach unlike the others we visited was small pebbles instead of sand, so do bare that in mind if you were hoping to build sand castles.
4. Ftelia beach- Like Fokos, Mersini and Agios Sostis beach this one is also situated in the North of the island.The beach is pretty long with white sand and a sweeping bay. The beach again is a little busier than Fokos an Mersini but because it's so big this doesn't really matter as you have plenty of room to spread out in, the water depth is also slightly more gradual than seen n Fokos and Mersini so it really does depend on what you are looking for!
There are plenty of other beaches around the island, naturally Paradise and Super Paradise are the party beaches. A heads up if you're wanting to go, Paradise is better for parties than Super Paradise. The super has nothing to do with how good the party scene is!
Mykonos beaches are certainly impressive with so many of them as well! What are your favourite beaches? Where would you like to explore?
Love
