Agia Anna beach in Mykonos

Agia Anna beach is located about 12 kilometres east of Mykonos Town. The beach lies between the more famous beaches of Kalo Livadi and Kalafatis. Agia Anna is a beach for me and it's mainly because it's not so exploited, and it's usually not crammed with people.

But the best thing about Agia Anna is not the beach itself, it is the nearby Cape Tarsanas. And you might wonder what it is that is so special about Tarsanas? Well, you find one of Mykonos best tavernas here: Fish Taverna Markos.

Every time we visit Mykonos, we eat at least one lunch here, and we prefer to eat fish or seafood, preferably mussels. The taverna is run by a fisherman and he often sits nearby and prepares the next fishing trip.

Mussels Saganaki is one of the specialties of the taverna.

Tarsanas is by far one of the most authentic spots in Mykonos.
