Things to do in Agios Stefanos

Known for its toned-down pace, Agios Stefanos gives you an insight into the island’s quieter side. From a lesser-known shoreline to quaint oceanside tavernas and a tiny chapel sitting overlooking the beach, everything has an authentic feel. So, if you’re looking for something to do other than relaxing, we suggest heading for Mykonos Town where the fun doesn’t stop.

Enjoy a gentle stroll to Agios Stefanos: It’s hard to visit Greece without clapping eyes on a pretty whitewashed chapel. Sitting at the north of the beach, close to the new port of Tourlos, you’ll find the small church known as Agios Stefanos. Decorating the coastline beautifully, you can’t miss its terracotta tiled roof and imposing cross. We suggest heading here first thing on a morning or early evening when the sun is beginning to set over the rippling water. Either way – the views will reward you.

Set your sights on Mykonos Town: Despite its location just down the road, Mykonos Town is worlds away from the sluggish pace of Agios Stefanos. Made up of tight cobbled streets and compact whitewashed houses, it’s easy to see why it’s considered one of Greece’s most photogenic spots. Attracting a swarm of tourists every year, there’s plenty to see and do here, whether you choose to hit its clubbing scene after dark or secure a table in the sophisticated cafes found in Little Venice. For some history, The Archaeological Museum is worth your time as are the stunning 16th century windmills, which can be found high above the town in the surrounding hillside. If you’re looking for an alternative beach scene, this hotspot doesn’t disappoint with everything from watersport-filled sands right down to party shores complete with DJ sets.
