Elia Mykonos beach report and satellite view of Elia

Elia Mykonos

Elia is one of the largest among the southern chain of beaches on Mykonos. It's a very busy soft sand beach and a big favourite of the gay crowd, hence plenty of nudity along the shoreline, though they mainly confine themselves to the western end of the beach.
There is a bus service and Elia is often the last port of call for caiques from Platys Yialos and Ornos that hop along the south coast beaches, It is about 10km from Mykonos Town.
Although very popular it is relatively quiet with none of the beach party mentality of Paradise and Super Paradise. There are umbrellas and sun beds to rent, changing rooms and showers, as well as plenty of places to eat and drink. There are shops and a mini market behind the beach. Watersports are on offer with the usual jet skis, banana rides, parasailing and so on.
