Plage de Fokos, Sandy beach in northern Mykonos, Greece.
The 300-meter stretch of golden sand at Fokos Beach extends along clear waters against a backdrop of rocky hills in northern Mykonos.
Throughout the centuries, this northern section of Mykonos remained undeveloped, maintaining its natural state while the southern region transformed into tourist centers.
The beach welcomes naturist visitors who frequent this location, following Mediterranean traditions of clothing-optional areas in remote coastal spots.
Visitors need to drive 13 kilometers on rough roads from Mykonos Town and bring their own supplies, as the beach lacks rental facilities.
The single taverna near Fokos Beach serves fresh fish caught daily by local fishermen, making it one of the few genuine fishing establishments on Mykonos.

Greece is home to many secluded beaches, away from main tourist routes and resorts. These lesser-known coastlines are found on the islands of Crete, Lefkada, Zakynthos, Cephalonia, Milos, and Karpathos. Some feature fine light-colored sand, others black volcanic pebbles from ancient eruptions, and all are surrounded by turquoise waters where the seabed is visible from the surface. Accessing these sites often requires extra effort: steep paths descending from cliffs, unpaved roads crossing Mediterranean scrub, or boat trips from coastal villages. Seitan Limania is nestled in a gorge with rocky walls over 100 meters high, while Egremni Beach is accessible after descending 350 carved steps in the cliffs. Mavra Volia is distinguished by its black lava stones, remnants of an eruption 2200 years ago, and Kedrodasos is home to centuries-old junipers casting shadows on the sand. These beaches generally have little or no tourist infrastructure. The lack of restaurants, parasol rentals, or paved parking preserves their natural state and limits the number of visitors, even during peak summer season. Some areas, such as Marathonisi Island, are partially protected to allow nesting of loggerhead turtles.
