It’s located in the south of the island, and is for those who prefer a more developed, resort atmosphere.
In Ornos beach, the popular Kuzina Restaurant Mykonos and Pasaji Mykonos serving delicious food and cocktails promise a very relaxing and unique daily experience by the beach, either with family or friends.
The sandy and organized beach of Ornos faces luxurious yachts, along with the gorgeous views over the mesmerizing blue waters.
