Kapari Beach at Agios Ioannis Diakoftis
Exploring Mykonos Sailing Holidays area
Kapari beach must be the most beautiful and peaceful beach in Mykonos. Kapari beach is a small paradise made up of crystal clear blue waters, bright white sand and large rock formations. Access to Kapari is harder than to any other beach in Mykonos, but it is totally worth it. You can get there by scooter or car, but you need to be careful because the road is full of potholes. Once you are there, you will have to climb down a few rocks to get to the beach – and of course climb them again to return. We assure you it is definitely worth the trouble, especially on days with no strong winds. Kapari is located on the west side of the island, past Ornos and Agios Ioannis.
