Lia Beach is located along the south east coast of Mykonos. It's a relatively small, clean sandy beach that we really liked.

Facilities include a car park, beach restaurant, sun loungers and shades (with an 'at seat' service) but it's a lot more peaceful than Elia Beach. The bay is sheltered on both sides by hills, and there is an effective windbreak behind the sun loungers.

The Liasti Lia Beach Restaurant is on par with the Elia Beach Restaurant, both in terms of food quality (good) and price (not cheap).

You need a car or quad bike and a map as the roads are not well-signposted. When we visited Lia Beach a few years ago, there were some gay sunbathers.
