Elia Beach is more peaceful than some...
I certainly would go to Elia Beach during your stay, for a change of scenery. It is quiter than the other "popular" beaches along the south coast like Paradise, Super Paradise, and Platos Yialos. Here there is plenty of room to swim, walk, and also shouldn't be a problem finding an umbrella and sun beds as it can be at some of the other beaches. The bay is bigger but still protected and it has a really cool laid back atmosphere. If you're standing with the sea in front of you, the part of the beach furthest to the left is private and belongs to the Royal Myconian Hotel, but the rest is open to the public. At the far right, at the very ends by the rocks, there are some nudists and gays, so if that's you, head towards the right! Otherwise, the middle is just fine, too! There are watersports here like at most beaches, and I think this is the best one for jet-skiing if you're into that. There are a couple of beach tavernas where you can eat--one has elevated seating (upstairs)--I don;t really recommend that one--not bad, but not as good as the one closer to the beach, next to the pool.
