Merchia Beach in Mykonos is located in the northeast part of Mykonos, 8 km away from Ano Mera Village. The beach is situated in a small bay and is ideal for travelers seeking the alternative side of Mykonos. It offers tranquility and seclusion from the crowds who visit the Cycladic island for its endless parties and extreme events.
Merchia Beach has a small, sandy coast with a few pebbles and clear blue waters, surrounded by little vegetation and a few picturesque houses mainly belonging to fishermen.
No umbrellas or sunbeds are available, although you will find some salt cedars that offer shade if you haven’t brought your umbrella, especially during the hot summer days.
In addition, given that the place is secluded, with no taverns, restaurants, or snack bars around, it is recommended to have water and food with you.
However, keep in mind that access to Merchia is a bit difficult because you have to cross a dirt road to get to the beach; it is totally worth it, though.
