Mykonos Villa Kritias
7 Beds · 14 Guests
Area · Mykonos
Elia is at Mykonos's remote southeastern tip with the island's longest beach and most dramatic open-sea Aegean views. More secluded than Psarou, with longer sand than Agios Ioannis, and further from Mykonos Town than either, it is the right choice for guests who specifically prioritise Mykonos's most impressive panoramic seascape above town and social convenience.

Area Context
Our Elia portfolio covers three to six bedrooms sleeping 6 to 12 guests, on hillside plots above or adjacent to the beach with private infinity pools and southeast Aegean views. The beach has a couple of established beach clubs including Elia Beach Club, making it livelier than the most remote eastern beaches. Kalafatis, a nearby kitesurfing beach, is 5 minutes east. Compared to south-coast addresses like Agios Ioannis (quieter, closer to town) and Psarou (glamorous but crowded), Elia offers Mykonos's most spectacular panoramic open-sea views and the island's longest sandy beach with a fraction of the summer density.
Elia is home to Mykonos’s longest beach — a broad sweep of golden sand on the island’s quieter southeast coast, backed by hills where our villas look out over the Aegean. It offers a calmer alternative to the island’s busiest shores while keeping a beach club, watersports, and easy access to the wider Mykonos scene. The villas here are whitewashed, cubist estates with infinity pools and wide sea views, set apart on the slopes above the bay. Elia balances beach and seclusion. The beach itself is one of the island’s most beautiful and best-organized, with sunbeds, tavernas, and watersports, yet the surrounding hillside stays residential and private. The party beach of Paradise and the beach clubs of Psarou and Platis Gialos are a short drive west; Chora, with its Little Venice, windmills, and dining, is around twenty minutes away; and boat trips reach the sacred island of Delos and the south-coast beaches. The setting suits those who want a real beach on the doorstep without the crowds of the island’s busiest spots. The villas suit families, groups of friends, and celebrations who want a quieter Mykonos base with beach access and sea views — four- to eight-bedroom estates with staff, private chefs, and concierge planning. Mykonos airport and port are a short drive away. Because Elia sits away from the island’s busiest hubs, evenings stay calm, and the villa’s pool and terrace become the center of the day, with drivers and chefs arranging beach-club tables, boat days, and dinners in Chora as easily as a quiet night at home. Share your dates, group size, and whether you want a sea-view estate above Elia, a home near the beach, or a quiet hillside retreat, and we’ll send a curated shortlist of Elia villas, booked direct with no platform fees.

Frequently Asked
Elia has Mykonos's longest natural beach — approximately 500 metres of sand at the island's southeastern tip — combined with open-sea Aegean views toward Naxos and Paros that no other Mykonos beach can match. It is more remote than the south-coast beaches (20 minutes from Mykonos Town), quieter than Psarou's famous scene, and the hillside villas above it command the island's most dramatic panoramic seascapes.
Mykonos Town (Chora) is approximately 12-15 km from Elia, a 20-minute drive. This makes Elia the most remote of the main south/east coast beaches, and the trade-off for its quieter character and superior views. Guests who want to dine in town take a taxi, returning to the villa after dinner.
Elia's southeast-facing position means it is relatively sheltered from the Meltemi northerly winds in summer, producing calmer conditions than some north-facing beaches. The beach's length means guests can find quieter sections away from the beach club area. The water is clear and typically calm, making it suitable for children comfortable with beach swimming.
Mykonos International Airport (JMK) is approximately 10-12 km from Elia, a 15-18 minute drive. Our concierge team arranges airport transfers and can have the villa prepared — pool chilled, welcome provisions stocked — before your flight lands.
Kalafatis Beach, a kitesurfing and windsurf spot, is approximately 5 minutes east of Elia. Super Paradise Beach is 10 minutes west. Psarou and Nammos Beach Club are 20 minutes west. The remote eastern beaches of Fokos and Mersini are accessible by dirt road for guests wanting complete seclusion.
