Exploring Kalafatis Beach in Mykonos

In the southeast coast side of the island, only 12km from Mykonos city, guests can explore the peaceful area of Kalafatis Beach. This wonderful landscape is one of the most popular beaches and it is divided in two areas.

The first part of the beach is offered for sea sports, such as water skiing, surfing, wind surfing, parasailing, sup, flyboard etc. The other half is quieter and you can enjoy the sun, swimming far away from the crowd. Kalafatis Beach justifiably gets awarded the blue flag every summer. The color of the water takes you to the most exotic areas of the world and it is always crystal clear. You can lie down on the golden sand of the beach to enjoy the sun away from prying eyes. In this very well organized area, you may enjoy your lunch or dinner staying near the seaside.

Kalafatis Beach lies within walking distance from the area Divounia, where you can find many taverns with fresh fish. The owners prefer to go fishing each day and offer their fresh catch. Don’t miss the local appetizers and the high-quality wine that accompanies your meal near the sea, overlooking the blue water and the beach of Kalafatis.

From Kalafatis it is even closer to visit other beaches that are not so easy to approach from the center of Mykonos town, such as Elia, Agia Anna etc. From this excellent starting point, you will have the opportunity to see the other face of Mykonos and stay away from the beautiful but noisy center. Last but not least, the beach of Kalafatis is located quite near one of the most traditional villages, Ano Mera. There you can spend your day around the beautiful square or visit the Monastery and have one of the most delicious traditional stone oven lunches.
