- Melinda B18 contributionsBeautiful beach, easy access!This is my favorite beach on Mykonos, and very easy to get to from a cruise ship by city bus. Depart the ship and stay to the right, and find a small kiosk where bus tickets are sold. The VERY HELPFUL Ms. Lenia Zerva told me exactly which bus to take and walked me over to the driver (!) Mr. Christos Krikonis, who promised to take care of me - and he did. The bus has to first go into Old Port, where you get off, wait a bit, then get back on as it heads in the direction you want. A 10-minute ride and you are at the edge of this beach. It's quiet and beautiful and one can see one's ship off in the distance. They seem to run about every 30 minutes, so the return was also easy. I cannot thank Ms. Zerva and Mr. Krikonis enough for their excellent and helpful customer service, going well above what one might expect. Thank you so much, from a somewhat nervous guest to your beautiful island!Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 26, 2023
- MrandmrswebboSouthampton, United Kingdom49 contributionsQuiet but beautiful beachBeautiful beach- we did try other beaches but found this one the best and close to our hotel. Quieter than others and no need to be forced into a sun bed (40 euros for two plus umbrella). Small supermarket and a few tavernas. Lovely sand and clear waters! No background music like at other beaches. Family friendly and with a lifeguard.Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 3, 2024
- Shelly J52 contributionsA nice relaxing beach that's not too expensiveA nice relaxing beach, sunbeds 40 euros a set which is far lower priced than many others in Mykonos, plenty of room to put your towel on the sand if you prefer. The taverna on the beach has lovely food and drink at reasonable prices, staff are friendly and not pushy (you don't have to buy). Soft chillout music - no pounding noise! Buses are every hour from the old port. Gets busy with locals after 4pm. We visited mid June 2024.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 17, 2024
- Elizabeth EHertfordshire, United Kingdom26 contributionsGood beach tavernBeautiful beach but a parasol and 2 sun loungers cost 40euros for the day. A bit steep but good quality and comfortable. The beach tavern is very reasonable with plenty of variety on the menu. Service was good and the staff very friendly. They were kind enough to let us off a couple of euros when we found we could access money via our phones and ran out of cash( how embarrassing!) Would be a nice place to go for an evening dinner by the waters edgeVisited June 2024Traveled with friendsWritten June 18, 2024
- Mister_samsa76 contributionsQuiet and family friendly beachOur stay in Mykonos was short enough that we didn't get a chance to compare it to other beaches. But we were happy enough with the beach that we went every day we were there. The water is crystal clear and mostly serene unless a ship has just come in. That said, we enjoyed watching the ships come in; the lifeguard gives you a warning about it, but you can still stay in the water. It's easy to get to if you have a car or if you take a bus from the Old port. The bus ride takes about 5 minutes and costs 2 Euro. The beach is definitely on the quieter, more family-friendly side if that's your thing. There's not a lot of water sports or activities, so if you just want a chill day at the beach, this is the spot for you. There are two restaurants with very reasonably-priced beach chairs nearby. We often purchased lunch from a small local grocery store nearby, which was very budget-friendly.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 5, 2024
- Lady AStockholm, Sweden1,200 contributionsBeautiful, tragic when cruise ships block the view..A really nice beach, white sand, clear water, restaurants, bus stop and a market close by. Not crowded, lots of space, unfortunately some beer caps in the sand- wear some kind of shoes.. Lovely view. At least until the gigantic cruise ships arrive and stay for days.. Love this place.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 7, 2024
- PinkEilidh105 contributionsEasy to access beach from mykonos old & new portsA lovely sandy beach with calm, clear blue waters. It was busy with greek people on a Tuesday so I take that as a positive! 2 tavernas, a lovely bar, mini market across the road & very nearby bus stop, it is the ideal beach. Plenty of space for those with a towel who don’t want to pay for loungers & umbrella. It is easy to access by public bus from both thenold & new ports (hourly service) or walk up & over the hill on the main road in 10 minutes from the new port (steep but fine & not as bad as it sounds!). Sadly the view was dominated by 4 cruise ships (they were silent) but still lovely & I would recommend it. Note, it becomes adult chest depth very quickly when the tide is in so perhaps not great for tiny kiddos.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 13, 2024

After a few disappointing beaches that were meant to be amazing we tried this one. It appeared at a turn in the road and after parking with the other cars and going down the rough track we arrived on a lovely golden stretch of sand. There were quite a few folk peering into the water (jellyfish were out in force) but a few swimming too. No facilities on the beach but fine sand and shallow slope made it a perfect stop for a couple of hours. Would totally recommend this over Fokos or Mercini.

We were here for the second time, we rented 2 loungers and an umbrella for €30 at the tavern at St. Stefanos Beach right on the beach, it's nice and quiet. Delicious food and good cocktails, which are served to you directly on the lounger or you can sit upstairs in the tavern. The sea was great, the beach was clean, clear water, there was a shower and toilet at the tavern.
The service was really good and very friendly, we really liked it

Beautiful little beach! Crystal clear water and family friendly. Only one place to eat nearby but it was nice and worth a visit. Every so often there are HUGE waves but the beach has a lifeguard who warns everyone in advance to leave the water - it was actually pretty cool to see!

Water was beautiful and clear. Had some sun beds for rent €30 for pair. Lots of open sand to sit in. Buildings along beach run down and abandoned, but one was open. We only stayed an hour. Quiet if you prefer not a lot going on. Took the bus from Old Port for €1,80

Very nice bay, the equipped beach is small, we recommend arriving early. You can swim or rent a pedal boat to reach the islet opposite.
There is a small food truck for snacks and drinks.

per favore vorrei sapere se alla spiaggia di AGIOS STEFANOS BEACH è possibile prenotare per il 21 agosto 4 ombrelloni con 8 lettini ed il costo. Vorrei anche sapere se è possibile affittare attrezzature per fare sport acquatici: moto d'acqua, surf o altro e come raggiungervi arrivando dal porto delle crociere MSC. Grazie, Mery

PER favore vorrei sapere se la spiaggia di AGIOS STEFANOS BEACH è vicina al porto dove attraccano le navi da crociere, se ci si arriva direttamente a piedi o se ci sono navette o taxi che arrivarci (il costo se lo conoscete), se è a accessibile anche a persone con sedia a rotelle, se affittano ombrelloni e lettini (il costo) e se si possono fare sport acquatici tipo surf, paracadute, o altro. Grazie. Mery

Is this beach free? Just bring a towel? Is it crowded in July? Thanks to anyone who can answer! :)

Agios Stefanos is very convenient and in walking distance to and from the cruise port.There are buses that you can take also. When I was there the water and the weather was very nice and relaxing. A cute, pristine beach to enjoy. There are sunbeds and food for purchase which is nice.I would like to go to Psarou beach and/or Agios Ioannis the next time I am able to visit Mykonos again.Have a great time.
