Kivotos hotel's own private beach

Did we mention that the hotel has its own private beach? This is located just a stones' throw away from the pool bar and is a rare find in Mykonos, which is famous for its popular beaches - but many of which are costly to spend the day at.

The hotel's beach is completely free, and offers a breathtaking view and a generous amount of sun beds. What's more, the friendly staff are on hand should you fancy ordering a cocktail or two while down there.

Namah, meanwhile, serves up a generous menu featuring a varied range of dishes, from bar snacks to pizzas, fresh fish dishes and salads. Note there isn't many vegetarian dishes listed on the menu, but the staff are incredibly friendly and are more than flexible if you ask for something without meat.
