Platis Gialos
Platis Gialos is rated among the most popular family beaches in Mykonos. A short drive from Ornos, Platis Gialos is a lively beach filled with so many different activities. The crystal-clear waters, soft sand, and variety of dining options (including kid-approved menus) make it an easy choice for parents looking for a balance of fun and relaxation.
Elia Beach
Known for its long sandy stretch and excellent facilities, Elia is ideal if you’re looking to spend a full family beach day. There’s space for everyone here. Kids can build sandcastles while adults soak up the sun. It’s also well organized and accessible, with easy parking.

Agrari Beach
More peaceful than its neighbor Elia, Agrari is a hidden gem for families who want a quieter atmosphere. It’s less crowded, has beautiful clear water, and feels a bit more remote — without actually being far from our location in Ornos. Though the waters are deeper here, making it a better choice for families with older children.
Kalo Livadi
Spacious, scenic, and relaxed, Kalo Livadi is another great choice for families. It offers plenty of room to play, calm waves, and a variety of shaded options to keep kids cool and parents comfortable. The great thing about Kalo Livadi is that the waters stay shallow for a long stretch, making it ideal for younger children to play safely.
