Private Beach Hopping in Mykonos: Three Beaches in 3 Hours

Three beaches in one morning without the crowds or the planning

A private 3-hour beach-hopping tour of Mykonos takes you to Elia Beach, Kalafatis Beach, and Kalo Livadi Beach in a single van with your own English-speaking driver. You stop at each beach to swim, sunbathe and photograph the coastline, moving at your own pace without a fixed group schedule.

Step-by-step itinerary

Private beach hopping in Mykonos

• Visit Elia Beach
• Relax at Kalafatis Beach
• Explore Kalo Livadi Beach

The experience

Elia Beach anchors the first stop on the southern coast: a long stretch of golden sand and clear water where you can spread out and soak up the Mediterranean sun. The tour then moves to Kalafatis Beach, known for the same kind of relaxation and swimming, before finishing at Kalo Livadi Beach, where rugged cliffs and rocky outcrops frame panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and open up opportunities for a walk along the coastline if you want to leave the sand.

The van is air-conditioned and seats your group only, so there's no waiting for other travelers or adjusting to someone else's pace. Your driver speaks English and knows the routes between the three beaches, handling the logistics while you decide how long to stay at each stop. The whole experience runs three hours, which means you're not locked into a full-day commitment. It fits around the rest of your Mykonos itinerary.

Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen and a towel. The tour doesn't include those. Kids under 5 are not accepted for safety reasons. If you need pickup and drop-off at your hotel or meeting point rather than driving yourself, that's available for an extra charge and arranged when you book.

Top questions

What's the difference between Elia Beach and Kalafatis Beach on this tour?

Elia Beach on the southern coast is known for its long golden sand and calm waters ideal for sunbathing, while Kalafatis Beach offers the same kind of sandy relaxation but with a different stretch of coastline. Both are swimming and sunbathing stops. The tour visits both so you can compare and choose which one suits your mood that day.

Can I spend more time at one beach and skip another?

Yes. The private format means you set the pace at each stop. If you want to stay longer at Elia or Kalafatis and skip Kalo Livadi, or spend extra time on the coastal walk at Kalo Livadi, your driver adjusts the itinerary to fit what you want to do.

What's Kalo Livadi Beach like compared to the other two?

Kalo Livadi Beach is framed by rugged cliffs and rocky outcrops rather than just sand, and it opens onto panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. It's the stop where you can walk the coastline and explore the hillsides if you want something beyond swimming and sunbathing.

Does the van driver wait while I'm at the beach, or do I need to arrange my own way back?

The driver stays with the van and transports your group between all three beaches. You're not left behind or responsible for getting back to the van. The tour is a continuous loop through the three stops with your own transportation included.

Is this tour suitable if I don't have a rental car?

Yes. The private van with driver handles all the driving between beaches. If you need pickup from your hotel or a meeting point in Mykonos town, that's available for an extra charge and booked at checkout.
