Elia Beach, Mykonos – One of the World's Best Gay Beaches

Elia Beach Gay Section - Mykonos, Greece
No trip to Mykonos is complete without a visit to Elia Beach, one of the best gay beaches in the world. Read on and we’ll highlight where to eat, drink and be MARY! And of course, how to get to the secluded gay beach to swim in your birthday suit!

On arrival at Elia, you will easily find the main taverna on the beach, and it’s complete with a gift shop, facilities, showers, and of course, a restaurant.

Heading out to the beach, you will find loungers with menus and even call buttons for you to order a beverage or lunch. This was a perfect stop before making our way down to the gay section.

If you’re keen to swim or sunbathe naked, simply climb over the rocks past the gay section to find the small gay nude beach. Shoes are helpful, but we managed without. We loved the privacy to strip down and enjoy a skinny dip in the refreshing, crystal clear sea.
