If you’re craving some space to yourself, make for the beaches in the less frequented north of Mykonos, which is scattered with natural parks.
Agios Sostis has no beachfront bars, restaurants, or sun beds and is all the better for it: The beach is noticeably quieter than those in the south, and behind is not much more than gently sloping hills sparsely dusted with scrub.
Head north and there’s a small village with a taverna and church, and another much smaller cove bathed by shallow, glimmering water.
