The best beaches in Mykonos
Bathed in a sea of an almost impossible turquoise, the beaches of Mykonos are among the best in Greece. The island enjoys an unbeatable location in the centre of the Cyclades and offers options for all tastes, from difficult-to-access and quieter coves such as Agios Sostis or Loulos to family coves such as Kalo Livadi and those ideal for sports such as Kalafati.

A short distance from Loulos is Kalo livadi, known for its beach clubs.
