Looking for a spot that’s big on vibes but low on stress? Agios Sostis is the secret gem of Mykonos where you can find golden sands and a slice of authentic island life that feels lightyears away from the Chora crowds.

Unplugged Paradise - There are zero sunbeds or loud beach bars here, making it a premium choice for a peaceful jollie where the only soundtrack is the Aegean waves.
Kiki’s Tavern - This legendary spot has no electricity and a mahoosive reputation for the best grilled pork chops and fresh salads on the island - just be prepared to queue a little bit!
Off-the-Grid Vibes - Since no buses run here, it stays blissfully quiet, attracting a stylish crowd who prefer a private villa and a rental car over a crowded shuttle.

What is the best time to visit Agios Sostis?
Holidays to Agios Sostis are all about embracing the elements. Because it’s tucked away on the northern coast, the vibe changes significantly depending on when you touch down. From the calm, flower-filled days of spring to the sizzling mid-summer heat, there’s a sweet spot for every person seeking a micro-retirement.
Spring - Expect mild temps around 18-22°C and hillsides covered in wildflowers, making it a gorge time for quiet walks before the summer rush.
Summer - The sun is in full swing with highs of 30°C, and while the Meltemi winds can take you back a bit, they keep things feeling as fresh as ever during those long tanning sessions.
Autumn - The sea is still on-point for a dip but the air cools to a comfy 24°C, offering a much more relaxed, "end-of-season" charm.
Winter - Very quiet with temps hovering around 13-15°C; most of the local tavernas take a break, so it’s strictly for those seeking total solitude.
What are the best beaches to visit on your Agios Sostis holidays
While Agios Sostis itself is the star of the show, staying on the northern coast puts you in prime position to explore some of the island’s most rugged and beautiful shorelines.
Agios Sostis Beach - A wide, sandy haven with no amenities, perfect for couples and nudists looking for an authentic, "back-to-basics" beach day.
Panormos Beach - Just a short drive away, this spot offers a bit more life with a couple of swanky beach clubs for the fashion-forward crowd.
Fokos Beach - A wild and remote stretch of sand that’s unmatched for peace and quiet, usually attracting hikers and those with a rental ATV.
Agios Stefanos Beach - Closer to the port, this family-friendly spot has golden sands and shallow waters that are a hit with the littluns.
Ftelia Beach - A windsurfer’s paradise where the breeze is always a main character, making it the classic choice for watersports enthusiasts and bohemian vibes.
Things to do on your Agios Sostis holidays
