Agios Sostis Beach, Remote beach in northern Mykonos, Greece.
The 250-meter sandy beach stretches along a protected cove with clear waters, surrounded by natural rock formations and Mediterranean vegetation.
The beach inherited its name from an ancient white church of Agios Sostis perched on the hillside, overlooking the northern waters of Mykonos.
The beach represents a traditional Greek coastal environment where visitors engage with nature without commercial facilities or organized beach services.
Visitors need to bring their own supplies, including water, food, and sun protection, as the beach maintains its natural state without amenities.
The secluded location, accessible only by private transport, creates a natural sanctuary where clothing remains optional throughout the beach area.

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.
