Elia Naturist Beach : info and guided tour

Introduction to Elia Naturist Beach

Elia Naturist Beach is located on the southeast coast of Mykonos, along a wide sandy crescent accessible from Elia Bay. It is known as one of the island’s most established naturist swimming areas, with an open setting facing the Aegean Sea and a quieter atmosphere than some of the more lively nearby beaches.

The site stands out for its long stretch of golden sand and generally clear water, sheltered by a bay with gentle contours. At Elia, visitor numbers vary by season, but the naturist section keeps a reputation as a relaxed beach where the coastline and the sea shape the landscape.

Around the beach, Mykonos appears in a more open and mineral-looking form, with low hills and wide views over the shoreline. Elia Naturist Beach is part of the Elia coastal area, one of the island’s best-known beach clusters, often associated with swimming and a Mediterranean seaside setting.

From Mykonos Town, Elia reveals a different side of the island, more focused on long beaches and the shallow waters found in parts of the southeast. The place is especially known for its naturist beach atmosphere in a simple maritime landscape, without grand monuments, where the coastal scenery remains the main attraction.
