Ornos or Elia

Family of 4, 2 parents, 2 teens want a bit of a beach experience. Will not be having a car so would like a place that maybe can walk from a small town with restaurants, shopping, etc.

Which of these 2 might be the best for that scenario.

Or is there another place on Mykonos that you would suggest?

Thanks!

My mom and I enjoyed visiting Ornos Beach (twice) when we stayed in Mykonos many years ago.
There was a restaurant right on the beach where we had 2 delicious meals.
The restaurant staff let us use their beach chairs free of charge because we were there off- season in October.

We were told that it’s a very popular beach and it gets very crowded during the summer months.
We hadn’t planned to visit a beach during our trip but then decided to go as it was recommended by our hotel staff.

When is your trip?
Wishing you a wonderful time in Greece!

The end of May. So thinking it might not be too busy at that time of year, but warm enough for some beach time.

Did you stay in a hotel there or just do a side trip. Looking at someplace to stay for 2 days, then hang out at the beach and in the town, if there is one there.

Are you committed to Mykonos? It’s going to be crowded and very expensive. Check out some You Tube videos or Google the various beaches, if you haven’t already. There are dozens of other Greek islands that experienced travelers on this forum could help you explore if you’d like.
