Our villa is located directly above Elia beach, with direct access to it via a private road. It is located uphill (5'-10' min walk, 2' min drive) which is perfect, because it has spectacular views of the beach and the sea, without ever feel crowded or bothered by the tourists who visit the area. The beach has an excellent taverna. More upscale restaurants, as well as spa amenities, gym, ATM etc, are located in the hotels (The Myconian Collection Hotels in Elia, www.myconiancollection.gr ) right next to our property and one can use them easily with a small fee. Elia has very good access, not only to Mykonos town (20' drive), but also to the village of Ano Mera (5' drive), where there are Grocery stores, Bakery stores, a Gas Station, ATMs, Tavernas and other restaurants, Barber and Hair salons, Nail salons etc. Lately, we enjoy the delivery of both Mediterranean cuisine and Greek traditional food, as well as sushi and fresh fish (prepared or grilled). The south part of Mykonos, has the best beaches of the island, so more options are easily available in a 10' min drive (Kalo Livadi beach, Kalafatis beach, Agia Anna beach, Lia beach, Ftelia beach) with all the restaurants and clubs they have to offer. Elia beach is maybe the largest and most spectacular in Mykonos. Therefore people have space and can always get a beach bed. On the other hand there are no clubs installed there, so it never too loud and gets very quiet, after the sunset.
