Ftelia Beach
is the largest of all the undeveloped beaches in Mykonos.
This wild, north beach is one of the favorites of
wind surfers. Even as a non-participant you can spend
some time watching the spectacle of wind surfers flying
across the sea. When the rare south wind blows, this
is the beach to come to.
There are no sun beds
or umbrellas, but you can find plenty of privacy and
space to lay your towel on this soft, sandy, windswept
beach. Because of the wind, this is also a fairly
good place to do some beachcombing; you never know
what you might find. This is a perfect beach to bring
your dog to run or a swim in the sea.
You can take a pause in your day to have
a meal or drink at one of the tavernas on either end
of the beach. There are private houses and villas,
a few small hotels, apartments and rooms for rent
overlooking the beach.
A small archeological site is located
on a rocky area in the middle of the beach that is
somewhat protected.
Ftelia Beach can be reached by bus
originating at the intersection near the old port
behind the museum (getting off the bus on the main
road and walking about ten minutes to the beach),
rental car
motorbike or taxi. There is plenty of undeveloped
parking on and around the beach.
