Ftelia Holidays
;img.crop(width:658%2Cheight:370))
Holidays to Ftelia are ideal for peaceful days filled with sandcastle-building, windsurfing and beachcombing, just a stone's throw from Mykonos Town.
Wild and free
Tucked away on the northern side of the Greek island of Mykonos, Ftelia still manages to feel remote and out of the way – a refuge for those looking to escape the island's more crowded areas. The winds on Ftelia Beach make for a windsurfing paradise, while the long stretch of sand's ideal for lounging.
Dive right in
For recreational and beginner divers, Mykonos is the place to be – caves, shipwrecks and corals await. The unofficial diving HQs of the island are at Kalafatis, Lia and Paradise beaches, so be sure to check them out. If you don't fancy taking the plunge, you can snorkel in the warm shallows instead.
Island excursions
The island has more than 20 headlining beaches, each with its own unique activities and appeal. But if you're a little surfed-out, grab a ferry to Delos – the mythical birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. Bonus points if you're a lover of history, archaeology and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, because the ruins here tick all three boxes.
