Megali Ammos
This is considered the main beach of Mykonos Town, as it is located just a 10-minute walk away and the access is very easy. It is sunbed & umbrella-free, as usually it is “whipped” by the strong northern winds. Its main characteristic is a huge flat rock lying in the sea just a few steps from the shore, which makes getting in the water quite challenging, but at the same time is very cool for exploring with your mask, as is all the seabed here. If you find yourself at Megali Ammos, you will often meet windsurfers and horseback riding lovers, as well as residents of the neighbouring hotels, who weren’t in the mood to move away for the day. After your swim and sunbathing, you can enjoy delicious traditional Greek dishes at the Joanna’s Nicos Place Taverna, located literally on the sand and offering an unchanged by time authentic Greek dining experience since the ‘70s it first started operating here.
Built on Megali Ammos beach sometime in the 1970s, this traditional small and extra cute tavern has managed to remain faithful to its values for almost 40 years now. Here you will enjoy local recipes and homemade dishes, prepared with care and love for the Greek culinary traditions. The service is always very good, and the staff will get out of its way to help you always with a big smile on their face. Meat and fish are both equally treasured here, as the fresh grilled fish and the amazing steaks seem to always find their way to the guests’ tables. Traditional starters, such as vine leaves stuffed with rice and herbs, potato salad and fava, give their place to amazing main courses and yummy seafood pasta dishes. If you are up for a folklore experience, do ask about the Greek nights held here with live music and singing, it surely will be a night to remember.
