Best Beaches in Mykonos

Mykonos is one of the most visited Islands in Greece and for a good reason, too. Mykonos belongs to the Cyclades group of islands in the Aegean Sea. It is the most popular in the summer because there are many parties every night you spent there. Young people and those who feel young are very welcome here and every summer you can find a lot of people there. The whole island becomes a big celebration of life and party from late March to the middle of September.

Mykonos is a small place its long 15 km and wide 10 km and everyone gets along there. Even in the case where you want some peace and quiet, you will still find your place on this island.

If you want loud music and the world’s best DJs for sure you will find them during the summer. But still, the best place to spend here if you are awake during the day are beaches and turquoise blue water everywhere you look.

Lia Beach

Located about 14 km from the Town of Mykonos this is the beach where you can be sure that no one will disturb you while you are there. Every person has a sun lounger with a lot of parasols for those who don’t like the sun that much or have sensitive skin and needs to be under the shade.

This is a private beach and only the guests can swim and by the sight, this is one of the clearest waters, where guests of the hotel can rent scuba diving equipment and see a great saved underwater world with various corals and fishes of all kinds of colors. This is one of those beaches where you can rely on seclusion even dough you are surrounded by other beaches. Here you will be safe from loud music during the day and from an overcrowded beach. There are no hotels here just endless blue water and blue sky above.

Super Paradise Beach Mykonos

This is one of the beaches that are in the bay area so here you can enjoy quiet waters without many sea waves. It is about 7 km from the Center Town Of Mykonos and the sandy beach is on the southeastern part of the island. At one of the ends of the beach, there is a Super Paradise Beach Club with a hookah place. There is also a self-serving bar where you can drink and eat during the day as well as during the night.

If you came here looking for partying this is the best beach for you. Secluded by being behind the bay and big rocks here is the place to have fun all night, and sometimes after dawn and late into the next day. Some of the most wanted DJs in the world have their parties here all summer long and not just during the weekend.

Jackie O’Beach Club is on the other end of the beach and here you can find a fine dining restaurant at the end of the evening, there are held drag queen shows. No city transport goes to this beach only Mykonos Water Taxi can take you there, otherwise, you’ll have to get there on foot.

Agrari Beach

Agrari beach is full of sand and has bed rentals that you don’t have to use during the day or night. It has a pretty decent restaurant, but here you will find mostly sand. For some people, this is what they are looking for. For this beach, you don’t need any money to be more than welcome to be here on your towel and stay all day in the sun to get a bronze tan. Earlier mentioned Mykonos Water Taxi goes by this place but this beach is usually empty.

So, if you want to read a book in peace, this is the beach for you. It is 10 km from Town Center and you can get here by car you will find more than enough parking spaces where you can look at your car the whole day or time you spend here. At this beach, you can find usually families and people that got here alone, or some of those who partied too much and now looking for some quiet time that lasts the whole day.

As well as it’s quiet during the day, during the night this is one of the more important party places. The restaurant is shaded by several trees and it is great to cool down from the sun. But, when the night comes, this beach becomes one large party place and many people love dancing here long into the night.

Fokos Beach

Fokos Beach is popular for its free beach without taverns at the ends and being in lagune there is sand everywhere and beautiful clear water in front of you. There are no hotels there so the beach is open for everyone that wants to come here. Here is no end to the beach on each side, no pressure to take a sunbed, and it’s pretty quiet. Here you won’t find parties during the night or day, just sand and beautiful clear water in front of you.

The Northeast of Mykonos is more popular for those people who don’t like people, loud music, DJs, and restaurants and taverns which will disturb the quiet on this beach. Being away from the Town of Mykonos 13 km you will have to find your transport to this beach because even the taxi doesn’t go here, there are no busses or any other kind except your car, or if you are near here you can walk to this beach but it will be worth the travel to the beach.

A bit further is Fokos Tavern with food that is homegrown, or fished fresh out of water. There is no loud music, just a little old place so you don’t need a car to get to the food that’s always fresh and safe to eat. Here you won’t hear loud noises, people with sunbeds, no sun umbrellas, no taverns, and it’s secluded being in a bay. There is only fine sand, blue waters, and blue sky. There’s not even one tree to make the shade, just fine sand and raw nature.

Paradise Beach

Paradise Beach is one of the best beaches in Mykonos. Paradise beach is too popular to even say something about the beach but here are the most important things you should know if you want to spend your day at sea here.  One of the most important things you should know is that if you want to read a book or take a few minutes of quiet time this beach is definitely not the place for you.

This beach is 6 km away from the Town of Mykonos, but there is a hotel near the sea, and it’s 600 meters away from the sea. There are two clubs on each side of the beach and Tropicana Beach Club is one of them. When the day is getting over, there starts loud music and a lot of people expect a great time. And that is certain when it comes to this beach.

From the afternoon to dawn and sometimes to the early hours the next day there are parties every single night during the summer. The most famous DJs come here and play music during the night, and sometimes there are festivals when all of the masters of mixed music come here to make a great atmosphere. The other club on the other side of the beach is Paradise Beach Club which offers slightly different music also loud and here all the people have a lot of fun for those who came to Mykonos to celebrate life. If you are in this group, this is the beach just for you.

Megali Ammos Beach

This is the nearest beach to the Town of Mykonos only 500 meters from the sea. Also, it is that far from the Center of Mykonos. Being that close to the water and the city at the same time, prices are that much higher than in the other parts of the town. Beautiful and pretty windy from time to time, but still one of the other pretty beaches on this island.

On the right side of the beach, there is a small tavern that also serves food grown on the island and those groceries that they don’t grow on the island, they get from the mainland, but every ingredient on your plate is from Greece. Being quiet like most of this side of the island tavern named Joanna’s Nikos is a great place to dine at any time of the day, during the whole season.

Beach is made of fine sand, like most of the others on the island, and the water is unusually clear, but with wind on its side, you can have a great time here, and peace on this beach. Someone would say that this beach will be full of people, but there is a place for everyone who comes here and a lot of great beaches to be almost alone in this one. Music is not that loud during the day so if you even can hear it, you will hear the sounds of waves much louder.

Agios Ioannis Beach

Agios Ioannis beach is one of the smaller beaches on the island. It is narrow and surrounded by big rocks that keep the separating line. If you want a change of scenery this is a great place for you. It’s on the quiet side of the island and although it’s a small beach you still can find a place for your towel. Some of the big rocks on each side of the beach can be a flat place for you not to have sand all over you when you get done swimming or scuba diving.

Except for the rocks around the beach, there are a lot of big stones in the water, and sunbeds are more than pricy, but that is because it is close to the Center of Mykonos. This beach is not for families with small children, because of the rocky wasters, where the kids can get hurt if they are not great swimmers.

This beach has a lifeguard that will watch for all swimmers or those who need any kind of help. Because it is not that full it’s not included in general tours, so there are not that many people that can find this beach. Also, this beach has a pier for boats and they have a tour for sailing on board cruising around the island, and visiting other islands if you want a new experience.

Elia Beach Mykonos

Elia Beach beach is special for many reasons. This is the longest beach on the island and has the smallest number of trading on the beach. So if you want peace on the beach you can be on the one side of the beach, and if you want to be among the people, you can choose the other end of this beach.

Also, this is one of the most famous beaches on the island. It is far from the Town of Mykonos about 11 km, but here, unlike some of the other beaches, this one has great transport to get to this beach. Being in the bay area like some of the beaches on Mykonos and it can get quite windy, so the waves are bigger than on the other beaches. But it is a warm wind and it could trick you that the sun is not that hot, but be safe if you don’t want to get burned from the sun and this usually happens the first day on the beach.

If you are staying in the middle of the town people has the option of busses that goes straight to the beach. For now, there are two bus lines which will get you there.

There is one main restaurant in the middle of the beach and several other, smaller taverns where you can have a great meal as well as the food to go. This beach has a lot of coves that can be explored but this is for the adults because in some coves clothing is optional, so don’t be surprised if you see some naked people in the coves.

Reasons why your choice should be Mykonos

Here are some of the beaches on Mykonos Island. There are many more beaches there that you can explore. If you love walking instead of just laying on the sand, you have 85 square km to explore. One day you can choose to see the town, and the other day to walk through most of the beaches on the island.

The prices are higher than in the other cities and on the mainland but here you can enjoy all kinds of parties and have fun that will remain in your memories for the rest of your life.

One part of the island is full of party people, and the other side is for families, and for the sake of your children take a good look at where to go if you don’t want to end up on a beach where everyone is partly or fully naked. But besides that, this is is a great place to spend your holiday with someone or if you are alone, when you get there it will be easy to get more than one friend.

Weather in Mykonos over the year

For people who like warm weather, and high temperatures during the whole year this is the perfect living place. The only thing that may spoil these warm days are winds that blow every single day, almost every day during the whole year. The low temperature during the winter times can go below 11°C in the January morning and about 14°C to 15°C during the day.  

Those temperatures may wary in late March or the beginning of April when temperatures go up. But in the middle of the summer in July or August, temperatures rarely go higher than 28°C to 29°C and nights are about 22°C to 24°C, but with the light breeze, you won’t feel a thing. That may be the case that this place is perfect for living.

The temperature of the sea is almost always warm, but not too warm. It keeps between 14°C when it’s colder, and even in late September water is about 20°C, and it’s still warm to have some Sun and fun without rain or bad weather.

The chances of a windy day are increasing but this is due to the summer onshore breeze that cools the island in the hottest months. From this wind that is almost always 100%, the island got the nickname “The Island of the Winds”.

What’s the weather like in Mykonos in April?

It is well into spring in April with the days getting longer and warmer and rainfall still decreasing from the high precipitation experienced in winter.

Temperature

Average temperatures hover in the mid-teens at 15°C and the average high/low temperatures are a low of 11° and a high of 18°C. Days are getting warmer as spring moves into summer and the beach becomes a place to visit for water activities.

FOOD AND THE BEST PLACES TO EAT ON MYKONOS

One of their delicatessens is the Kopanisti cheese. It is salty and spicy cheese made only in this part of the world. Mykonos has the best cheese of them all, but it’s made only there and on the few islands around. Lountza is dried or smoked tenderloin served as a cold pre-dish.

Omelet is another way for Greeks to wish you a good morning because they make it in a special way. This omelet is made by beating eggs in a separate bowl and once they warm up the butter or olive oil they put the eggs in the pan and they don’t stir it any longer. They add ceasing salt, pepper, dried meat, mushrooms, ham, bacon, cheese…almost everything you may want you can get in this omelet. Once it settles it can be folded or rolled as a pancake.

Those are their ‘ Duck’n’roses ‘, ‘Kung fu panda’, ‘El flamingo’, ‘Pear to pear’, and many others that will make you speechless.

Then there is Grilled Octopus made in Red Wine Reduction, Pickled Shallots in Beetroot Cream. Grilled Manouri Cheese and homemade Ginger Marmelade is also on the appetizer menu as well as Mykonean Cheese Pie Spring Rolles, with Spicy Honey Sauce, and last, there are Chrimps with Mykonian Kopanisti Cheese Sauce.

Every one of these appetizers is by itself almost a full meal, depending on what you love to eat. There are also two choices of salads from which one is a common Greek Salad, and the other is the unique Mykonean Salad which contains Spinach, Lettuce, Grapes, Sesame Seeds, Louza, Ksynotyri Cheese Kopanisti dipped in Vinaigrette.

In the Main Courses, there is Pan Fried Sea Bass along with Roasted Almonds, with the side dish of Olive Oil and Lime Sauce and Purée made of Broccoli and Coconut. The next dish is Grilled Fresh Sea Bream Fillet served with Fish Broth, Citrus Dressing, and Blanched Vegetables.

There is also Grilled Lobster in Butter Sauce and that could be more than one person can eat. Traditional Pasta with Lobster is usually what they serve as a pasta dish. All of the fish and food from the sea is fresh and that makes the history of this place. That is why they prefer to cook food mainly with seafood as their first choice.

However, if you don’t care for seafood, they also have much to offer, as every decent place has. So on the menu, you’ll find dishes like Steamed Chicken with Baby gems, Mashed carrots, and Fermented Cheese. There is a special dish made just from Linguine, Mussels, Shrimp, Zucchini, Tarragon, and Light Cream. Next is a specialty for those who like to try new things, and it is Pasta made with Vodka and Salmon on the side.

Next, is a vegetarian dish made of Casarecce Pasta made with Truffle, Broccoli, Lemon Zest and all that made in Myconean way.

For the last, there is a Moussaka plate with Bechamel Sauce which is made out of potatoes or eggplant and minced meat in rows. So there is something for everyone and a place to enjoy yourself.

In the end, there is always something sweet to finish off your night. There are just a few of these sweets, but they are great so you can choose from Chocolate Fondant with Coffee Ganache and Vanilla Ice Cream, Greek Yoghurt Panna Cotta mixed with Walnuts and Honey Toffee, and their famous Baklava served for a couple of people with Ice Cream.
Combined, all of these make a great meal that will be remembered.

M-Eating

This is one of the more expensive restaurants, but when they feed your stomach, they will feed your eyes too, so this is a place that you would remember for a long time.

Their Mediterranean and local kitchen from Mykonos will soon ensure that you choose the right place for dining. Even though they have worked in the same place for more than a century, every once in a while they would adjust their menu according to the needs of the customers that want something new almost every year.

From Soups to Appetizers to Pasta and Salads and a variety of Main Courses finishing up with Desserts every bite will stay in your memory and on the top of your taste buds.

Start with Tomato soup with Bread toasted with Parmesan cheese or with Velvety Cycladic soup with fresh fish and just a bit of Lemon Juice: Before the main dish is served there are a lot of teasers grouped in Appetizers where you will find Meatball Stew served with Onion Stew on potatoes with roasted bread with cheese cream on it. The row continues with Mykonean Onion Pie, with sweet onion and ‘tyrovolia’ cheese and red pepper sauce.

There’s also Sea Bass Tartare around which is a cold tomato soup and tomato jelly, then there is a special dish from local ingredients called Goat Cheese Trilogy made with tomato marmalade. This would be a special treat for everyone who likes gastronomy.

There is Grilled Squid next on the menu with pickled vegetables on cauliflower and beet mash sprinkled with Olive oil and lemon juice. Scallops are baked on Apple and orange sprinkles with fresh citrus fillets and a salad dressing made of wine.

Slowly cooked Cockerel made into a ‘pastitsada’ is a real Corfu dish made with a cute pasta Pyramid and little balls of Mykoneean cheese. Handmade Mykonian pork ‘syglino’ is a dish that had to be mentioned and fully deserves to be on every gourmet menu because the process of getting this kind of quality meat deserves nothing less.

Syglino is made usually with pork meat, marinated almost always in citrus fruit, and left to be cooked in the juices for a while, after that period, meat is left to be smoked with coal…at the end of the process, the pork is smoked on sage and then left in pork fat so it can be there during the whole winter ( or during the summer ). Mixed with the yellow split pea and rested on the mashed orange finally gets on the plate and is ready to be served.

Next on the menu is a Tuna patty served with portabello mushrooms in tarama sauce with parmesan cheese.

As we can see, the theme of the restaurant is citrus flavor, and that is why the next dish is Freshly-smoked tuna filet marinated with citrus fruits. ‘Like A Myconean Sun’ is called a dish that contains one 5-minute egg dropped in tomato sauce with smoked lamb bacon and pan-seared little bread with “tyrovolia” cheese mousse. Imam is a traditional Myconean and Greek dish with smoked eggplant, tomato with onions, and sweet garlic topping with handmade bread which smells like the dish of the day.

Served in quite different surrounding pasta that’s served here is pretty much the same taste as its name points, but still, there is much art woven in creating these pasta dishes like Kritharotto is like an original carbonara, couscous with seafood ragout and spinach pesto, and fresh, house-made pasta with mushroom ragout with truffles and cream cheese.

Next are salads and here can also be seen how much they go with the current trends because also here were took time to make the meal presentable and tasteful. Sun-dried cherry tomatoes marinated in basil oil and cucumber jelly with feta mousse and toasted bread.

Spestofai is the name of the salad which is made with pickled peppers and sweet garlic, pickled onion, and homemade chicken sauce. This is probably the only dish on the menu that is not native to Mykonos but it’s made like a Pelion dish ‘with a twist.

Something a bit more common is the salad with figs made with a green salad and fig fillets, sesame bread, strong cheese, and prosciutto. And, of course, there is a seafood salad made with various tomatoes, of different shapes and forms marinated mackerel fish, and a cucumber roll with two kinds of octopus – marinated and octopus carpaccio.

The main courses are special every dish is special in its way. First on the menu is Sous vide lamb with artichoke and sweet onion combined on a plate with baby zucchini and potatoes. Moving on to the traditional braised beef cooked slowly and long to get the best taste, with mashed celery aside. There is also a pork filet with mushroom sauce, served with potato confit and strong graviera mousse.

From seafood, there are a few very interesting main courses like Sea Bass Fillet made with sweet and spicy tomato sauce with baby potatoes and Mediterranean bruschetta a la ‘plaki’. There is also always a popular dish made of fresh fish or from ‘fish of the day’ where you will get a Fresh Fish Fillet with added artichoke sauce which is cooked in fish broth.

And finally, from main courses, there is a lighter version like Stuffed Chicken Fillet filled with Metsovone cheese and mashed Sifnos chickpea. Deserts are special in many ways because at the end of the meal, when you think that you couldn’t eat anymore these deserts can and will change your mind. From Mycenean ‘amygdaloto’ made out of rich almond cream on Chrispy almond cracker with almond ice cream on the top to the Fluffy Chocolate Mousse with pear filling with a chocolate biscuit. Also, you can find Myconean Honey Pie, which explains itself.

As the most popular of deserts there is Cheesecake made with fresh strawberry marmalade aside. Duet of Namelaka is the next interesting sweet on the menu made with white chocolate with fresh and jelly pineapple and all that marinated in rum.

Lemon Tart is made traditionally and it’s the one recipe that didn’t change over the years. And the last on this price list is Traditional halva mixed with red jelly fruit, brittle sesame cakes, and sorbet made with forest fruit.

Even though their prices are high, there are always people willing to pay for a great meal, with a staff that’s always smiling, and where the fresh absolutely goes under the signature bellow of every meal they put on the table. To be real, not everyone wants to dine out among the people.

Some people don’t have that much money or simply like more to dine in their rooms but there’s no need for worries because there are more than enough places to dine wherever and whatever you’d love. Here are some of those places…

The Wild By Interni

This is another one of the great hotels on Mykonos that offers almost everything you may ever desire. This family place was made by the two brothers of the Varveris family, who were and still are working in the decoration industry, came here one summer and decided to stay here. While doing that, they wanted to share their emotions and passion for this place with other people, and bit by bit they made a great but wild resort which includes suits and villas, pools, the closeness to the sea, great tasty bytes of freshly cooked meals, spa, and gym.

Partly rustic, partly new age, and partly wild, this is the place that has everything to offer and wants from you just to be here and feel the breeze, while the best of the best are taking care of your every need, because, when it comes to vacation, there is never too much sleep, too much of fun, too much of great people, and too much of time for yourself.

Starting with the suites and villas Authentic Villa with a private pool and sea view is a great start when you look at what is offered. Over 100 square meters, there is a traditional Greek yard with a private pool, and a sofa, with sunbeds. This is a non-smoking room, with free Wi-Fi, two King size beds, air conditioning, and smart TV, Shower with two more bathrooms, a safe box, and a minibar. Bathrobes are in every room along with the slippers that you’ll find comfortable.

In the wooden surrounding, called Deluxe sea view, this small apartment with 25 square meters, is the best used and decorated to fit everyone who doesn’t look much about where are they staying, as long as there is a place to rest their head in the evening. In any way, this place has everything that one could desire to stay for as long as they need.

From the small terrace, where you can rest in the morning, there is a sea view, this is also a non-smoking room, with complimentary Wi-Fi, a king-sized bed, the room has air conditioning, 43 inches Smart TV, it has a shower with everything in it that anyone can need, with safe box, and mini bar.

There on the beach, you can have almost any kind of food or drink, but the main thing that these two brothers are proud of is that everything is made fresh, each day, even the slow-cooked meals, and more important than that is that they made their food out of fresh and mostly local ingredients.

Everyone will agree that those are not the most common foods we could find on the menu of some pretty pricy restaurants, and you can have them on the poolside or even beside the sea.

Breakfast is also something unusual because they serve The Wild omelet with zucchini, manouri, and Anthotyro cheese and herbs, or maybe you’ll prefer “Kagiana” traditional greek scrambled eggs with tomato sauce and feta cheese flavored with oregano, or perhaps something less complicated like Egg white omelet with green and red peppers, or the most common breakfast of all Porridge with walnuts, linseed, and raisins.

The Petros Pelican Mykonos

Petros was a  Pelican, who was the official mascot of the Greek island of Mykonos. In 1954 an injured pelican was found off the strand of Paranga by a local fisherman. The white pelican was cared for and stayed on the island supported by locals. It soon received the name “Petros” after the Greek word “petras” or “semen” resulting from a corny joke by local fishermen. To great frustration by locals and tourists alike, Petros was hit by a car on 2 December 1985 and failed to recuperate.

He eventually died because a car hit him, and the locals were very sad. He was and still is the trademark of the Mykonos. After a few months, they got a new pelican, and they gave it the same name. Three new pelicans reside around the main town of Mykonos. One, donated by Hamburg Zoo, honorifically was given the name Petros.

A second, who was also cared for after injury, is named Nikolas. A third, named Irene and donated by Jackie Kenedy Onassis, has since unfortunately died. All three birds died, unfortunately, and one of them was famous because of the lawsuit. One day, one of the pelicans who had the same name Petros flew away to the next nearby island of Tinos and decided to stay a bit there. It was found by accident, and when the Mykoneans wanted to get it back home, they wouldn’t let it go back home.

That led to a lawsuit between the two islands, and eventually, the Petros got back home.
After bringing it home, Mykonean throws a big party to celebrate returning of the pelican, which is not native to the Aegean Sea. After a couple of years, and a few sad stories about pelicans, they made a small flock of birds that are now native and pretty tamed. They even like being petted, and after a while, birds used to being petted.

When and if you are visiting the island of Mykonos there are always at least 3 pelicans which are great with visitors, and you will be amazed by the look of these great birds. They are always fed but still will want to take food from you. Luckily, they can not harm anyone, because their beak is rubber-like, for them to be easier to catch fish from the sea, but for now, they are still full of the food that people who are spending summer here are always feeding them.

Even though the Petros died long ago, people still like to see these magnificent creatures, still young and pretty, and they love to take pictures, from the famous people who usually spend summer on Mykonos, to the islanders who are pride that such a rare bird choose to stay on the island. Do not be afraid of him, because he can not hurt you but if you get rough it still can defend itself.

This is a wonder that lasts over almost four decades, and finally, people take care of them now.

Let your dream come true in one of the following islands

Andros

is the northernmost island of the group with a great naval tradition and no landscape like the postcards from the Cyclades: apart from the sandy beaches, there are rocky coastlines, mountain ranges alternating with fertile plains, lush vegetation and abundantly flowing streams.

One of the most enchanting yet less known islands of the Cyclades, Tinos is the religious center of the country thanks to the church of Panayia Meyalóhari ( the Blessed Virgin Mary ). Pilgrims from all over the country come here to fulfill their vows and to seek spiritual comfort.

One of the most famous destinations worldwide and a favorite holiday spot of the jet set, Mykonos, is extremely beautiful and well known for its bare hills, amazing sandy beaches, white country chapels, and Cycladic architecture.

Due to its proximity to Attica, Kea is an easily accessible beauty with a scenery variety: steep mountains, small fields, olive groves, vineyards, valleys, picturesque coves, and off-the-beaten-track beaches. On the island with the largest oak forest in the Cyclades, bird-watching is a real delight.

Cousteau looked for the lost city of Atlantis on Santorini. Crescent-shaped Santorini ( or Thíra ), the precious gem of the Aegean, is actually a group of islands consisting of Thíra, Thirassiá, Asproníssi, Palea, and Nea Kaméni in the southernmost part of the Cyclades.

Also called “Thermiá” on account of its thermal springs, Kythnos is very close to Attica; still, it is one of the less visited islands of the Cyclades.

Greek Mythology has it that Anafi, a paradise of pristine beauty and “exotic” beaches washed by crystal clear waters, had emerged from the bottom of the Aegean sea to give shelter to the Argonauts.
Ios.

The locals call their island “Nios” but its formal name comes from “ion”, the Greek name for the flower violet. It is said to have been the birthplace of Homer’s mother and the place of his tomb.

Remaining untouched by the growth of the tourist industry, Folegandros ( or Polykandros ) offers complete relaxation in a typical Cycladic landscape. Greek mythology refers to Folégandros as a son of Minos and head of Minoans as they were leaving Crete. They were looking for a refugee camp because the Cretans were evicted from their homeland at the time.

Now, the Island has about 750 people who live there, and they are not too glad when tourists want to visit, they keep to themselves and only a few of them are in the tourist business, but those who do come here are naturists, and that is maybe the only reason why it this place known at all.
