Agia Anna beach Mykonos

Not to be confused with its better known namesake in the west AGIA ANNA (east) is a small, shingle beach overlooked by a large hotel complex.
Agia Anna beach is south facing and set in a deep sheltered bay with a low hill behind covered in scrub and just a trio of trees in the middle to provide natural shade.
There is a large dirt area for parking and a track that runs east steeply up and over the headland thendown again to a small fishing port with a taverna.
Neighbouring Kalafatis makes this a good, if relatively quiet, area to stay on Mykonos with a pleasant landscape and some very fine sea views from the hills.
Small beaches of shingle and stone lie on either side of a kidney-shaped isthmus and there are some sunbeds to rent near the hotel on the western beach.
A bamboo fence that runs behind the length of the Agia Anna beach helps to give some protection from the northerly winds that can blow strongly in August.
To the north is the beach at Tsarna, a long stretch of coarse sand with a taverna, watersports and some smart holiday apartments.
