One of the most beautiful and large beaches of Mykonos is Kalo Livadi, located on the southeast side of the island. There you will find a vast sandy beach with crystal clear blue-green waters. It is the ideal choice for families with children, as the waters are shallow, for couples, but also for people of any age. Although Kalo Livadi has a multitude of restaurants and beach bars with music, the beach is so large that you can choose the spot that meets your needs – either under a beach bar to enjoy the music and the vibes of the island, or more isolated, so that only the sound from the splash of the waves accompanies you. Kalo Livadi is 10 km from Chora and is easily accessible by car or bus. Also, there you will find various water sports that you can try after sunbathing and swimming. In short, we are talking about a beach that has a little bit of
