In the southeast of Mykonos Kalo Livadi is a supreme sandy beach fronting a picturesque valley with clusters of white houses.
A few hundred meters from the coast, the beach has a soft gradient, allowing children to play in the shallows and confident swimmers to venture a long way out without worrying about currents. The shore has regimented blocks of sun loungers, six deep and divided by wooden walkways. These are rented out by the restaurants behind and can be pretty pricey, but are worth every penny if you want full service. If you prefer to go your own way, there’s a patch under the rocks on the west end of the beach where you can lay your towel. On the west side is a boat charter company with its own jetty if you’re up for a self-navigated voyage.
