Don’t you just love meeting friends for lunch, then finding you’re still at your table as the sun sets? Elia Beach is one of those places where you can really lose track of time. The relaxing, sandy-toed atmosphere just begs you to stay a little longer – and why not? You’re on one of the most beautiful beaches in Mykonos.
It’s easy to be tempted by the menu at Elia Beach, there are so many delicious Mediterranean dishes to choose from – you can drop in for breakfast from 08.30, we loved the Omelette with local cheese, Louza (a traditional cured Myconian cured pork) and tomato. For lunch you can opt for a refreshing watermelon salad with feta cheese or try the famous Vassili’s roasted baby goat – slow roasted in the oven with Greek virgin olive oil and dried oregano. The restaurant also has an impressive wine list, excellent cocktails, and a selection of beers from local microbreweries.
Adrenaline junkies will love Elia Mykonos Watersports. Here you can hire a jet ski, take a spin on the flying fish or charter a boat for the afternoon. You can also rent sunbeds for the day.
If you’re keen to explore modern Mykonian dining, you couldn’t ask for a more spectacular setting, with food to match.
You’ll find Hippie Fish on Agios Ioannis beach (just look for the giant wooden sculpture outside) and you can easily spend an entire day here.
The venue is a regular haunt for celebrities, and you’ll find them taking part in yoga classes, sipping on world-class cocktails or joining the bohemian revolution through sacred music rituals.
