A quiet, scenic area just minutes from Mykonos Town, with easy access to beaches, a beautiful sunset spot at Kapari, and relaxing views opposite Delos.
Agios Ioannis has long been one of Mykonos’ most peaceful areas — and that’s exactly what makes it special. It offers calm, open views and a relaxed pace, while still being close to everything that makes the island famous.
If you want the best of both worlds — quiet nights and easy access to Mykonos Town — Agios Ioannis is a wonderful choice.
⸻
1) Peaceful, authentic Mykonos (without feeling far away)
Agios Ioannis is known for its laid-back atmosphere. It’s not a party area — and that’s the point: after a lively evening in Town, you can truly unwind and recharge.
At the same time, Mykonos Town is only about 4.5 km away, so you can enjoy the restaurants, bars and shopping whenever you like, then return to a calmer base.
⸻
2) Sunset at Kapari Beach — a local favourite
One of the highlights of the area is Kapari Beach, a stunning sunset spot with a natural, unspoiled vibe.
• Around 900 metres from Lithos (a lovely short walk)
• A beautiful place to watch the sun go down
• You can also swim there (it’s not organised, which many guests love)
If you’re looking for a “local” sunset moment — Kapari is it.
3) Agios Ioannis Beach: clear waters & a relaxed vibe
Just a short walk from the hotel (approximately 200 metres), you’ll find Agios Ioannis Beach.
It’s a calm beach with clear water and a peaceful atmosphere, right opposite Delos, which makes the view feel uniquely Mykonian.
There is also a free public section, where you can simply lay your towel down and enjoy the sea.
Tip: If you enjoy simple underwater exploring, bring a mask & snorkel (snorkeling). The seabed here is Mediterranean — different from tropical destinations — but it can still be great for relaxed observation and a different swimming experience, especially in quieter spots.
⸻
4) Easy, good dining nearby
Another advantage of Agios Ioannis is that you have good dining options close by, including seaside restaurants and places just a short walk away.
It’s perfect for evenings when you want something easy and delicious — without heading into the busy centre.
⸻
5) And if you want a more “busy” beach: Ornos is very close
Very nearby you’ll also find Ornos, a different kind of beach area: more organised, more lively, and usually with more movement during the day.
It’s a great option when you feel like a more “busy” beach experience, with plenty of dining choices by the sea — while still being close enough to visit easily and return to the calm of Agios Ioannis.
⸻
In short: who is Agios Ioannis perfect for?
Agios Ioannis is ideal if you want:
• A quiet area with a calm atmosphere
• Easy access to Mykonos Town (without staying in the noise)
• A memorable sunset at Kapari Beach
• Beaches close by and a relaxed seaside vibe
If you’d like, we’ll be happy to recommend the best time for sunset depending on the time of year, the best beaches based on the wind, and the easiest way to get around during your stay.
