Houston Pegaroo Posted July 15 #1 Share Posted July 15 Looking for information on transportation options to either of these beaches from Myknonos town. Also, are there options to reserve lounge chairs and umbrella in advance at either of these beaches? We'll be on the island for one day in mid-September. Thanks!

cruisegal415 Posted July 15 #2 Share Posted July 15 Following. I read there are not many taxis available at the port, is this true? Also read that there are a number of cafes and restaurants on the beach, do they provide lounge chairs and umbrellas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what Mykonos is all about during the daytime,,going to the beach. In many cases the beach lounge rental operations are owned by adjacent restaurants. Everything is negotiable, although you ability to get a good deal is going to depend on supply/demand. Since we have never gone to Ornos or Elia we do not know the situation on those two beaches. Our favorite beaches are Paradise and Platus Gialos, with Super Paradise another place we consider when everything is really crowded. Chair rentals can be an issue at some beaches since the vendors will often set-aside the best locations for nearby hotels/motels with which they have agreements. At an expansive beach like Gialos, we simply walk along the beachfront walkway and talk to various vendors until we find what seems right at the time :). I also suggest that before renting, folks ask to see the drink/food menu (including prices) for that particular vendor. The island does have some rip-off places (such as DK Oyster) that have been known to fleece tourists out of hundreds of Euros for a few drinks.

bwaz Posted August 11 #5 Share Posted August 11 We went to Elia Beach in July. We got there about 9:15 and there were plenty of loungers and umbrellas available. 2 loungers plus umbrella cost 70 euros. Calm waters but becoming a bit rougher toward noon. Food and drink service to your seats. A very nice place to relax and enjoy the beautiful clear oceans waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
