Houlakia at a Glance
Houlakia is an incredibly individual beach found on the northwest side of Mykonos, one of the Greek islands. A beach made up of small rounded stones and pebbles, Houlakia finds its uniqueness in the colours and shape of the stones, which have been sculpted by the sea over thousands of years and laid back to rest on this particular part of the Mykonos coast.
Ideal For...
- Those who are looking for a relaxing holiday in Greece with a difference.
- Couples that are in search of a destination where they can enjoy some quality alone time.
- Sophistication in the sun.
Explore Houlakia
- Dividing into two sections, Houlakia beach is certainly a place for enjoying some quiet time in the sun. The beach is made entirely of small stones, but if you are in desperate need of some sand there is a small slice of it hidden by a cove that is peppered with sun loungers and umbrellas. You can also visit the family owned tavern on this side of the beach, which serves some wonderful local, traditional Greek dishes.
- Even during the hot summer months when the beaches of Mykonos begin to see crowds flock to its bays, Houlakia manages to stay deserted. Make sure you enjoy at least one sunset during your holiday and admire the stunning view of the sunset washing over the surrounding hillsides and Delos Island in the distance.
Why a Houlakia Holiday?
- As Houlakia beach is protected, it isn’t the best place to swim, but if you want to enjoy the water then there are plenty of snorkeling and scuba diving trips you can go on. The island is surrounded by such clear waters you will definitely get to see some stunning underwater sights. Diving lessons are also available if you’re new to the sport.
- A holiday to Houlakia is really about rest and relaxation, but if you feel like exploring, Mykonos offers a lot of sightseeing opportunities and plenty of pretty towns and villages you can visit. Mykonos Town is just a short drive away from Houlakia and is home to some glittering nightlife as well as a network of pretty little streets that are great for wandering around.
