This is the beach with jet skis for rent and skiing. If you go to the left its straight. If you go to the right, it's a gay mans Mecca. More speedos and muscles than your likely to ever see at once. good food at the beach bar as well as lounge service.

We are a bunch of beach lovers, and we can honestly say this beach is our most favourite by far. The water is clean and warm and still and the fine sand beach is just gorgeous. Definitely recommend for gay travellers!

We rented a small car to make our way to Elia Beach and it was well worth it. The beach is very nice and has loungers set up (for a price) with large umbrellas for shade. The beach can be crowded, but with that comes a great energy. This is where the beautiful people go to watch and be seen.... More

The most beautiful beach on the island. The scenery of the village in the mountains, with the rocky cliffs, pure waters and gorgeous sand make this a true paradise. Where many sailors and yachters come for a break from sailing, there is definitely some money in the sand here. The Elia cafe makes it possible to never leave the beach,... More

It's more far away from Chora (Mykonos Town) and other beaches. A lot of people, even more expensive then other beaches. It's ok, but I would never stay in one of the hotels around this beach (too far from mykonos town).

The food service here is very, very good - both lounger service as well as restaurant. beautiful beach, great swimming, some snorkeling, can be busy, but this was our favorite beach on the island, worth the drive.
