About Mersini Beach
Mersini is a small, undeveloped beach on the remote northeast coast of Mykonos, roughly 13 km from Mykonos Town and about 900 m along the coast from Fokos beach. Unlike the island's famous party beaches on the south coast, there is nothing here: no sunbeds, no umbrellas, no taverna or bar anywhere close. The shore is a short strip of sand divided into two small sections by a rock outcrop, facing shallow, clear turquoise water. Its isolation is the reason nudists use it; travel guides describe it as one of the most private beaches on the island and note that nude sunbathing is common. There is no marked nude section, so with few visitors the whole cove is generally treated as clothing-optional. Bring shade, water and food for the whole stay.
Getting there
There is no bus or boat service. Drive or take a taxi from Mykonos Town towards Ano Mera and then the northeast coast (around 13 km). Parking is informal and limited. Fokos beach, about 900 m away, has a taverna and is the nearest place for food. Not wheelchair accessible.
What visitors say
Travel guides describe Mersini as quiet and private, used by a handful of nudists and couples looking to avoid the crowded south-coast beaches. Visitors stress that there are no facilities at all and recommend bringing an umbrella, water and snacks. Some listings give conflicting information about facilities and nudity, so expect a simple, unserviced cove where clothing is optional by custom.
