Great Beach Day in Elia - Maria and her team did a great job! Just a bit confused at first trying to locate the pick up spot but she called and everything went perfect from there! Beach was amazing, chair & umbrella available for 30 Euros, drinks from the Elia Resort reasonable. Very relaxing afternoon. Option to head to Mykonos Town (Old Port) or they offered to drop off back in New Port. Great day! Thanks

Not what we expected - Wasn’t what we expected. The trip to the beach was good. The beach they took us to was for a resort and we were asked to move. No place to lay out a towel. We went to the resort to have a beverage, that was nice.

Good but not great - Basically an expensive bus ride to the beach. The beach was beautiful but the umbrella chairs cost 40 dollars.

Nickle and Dime you! - The transportation went very smooth. We were picked up from the cruise pier by air conditioned bus and transported safely to both locations. At the beach to sit in a chair it was 70 Euros for 2 seats and a Umbrellas. We felt that was expensive. Several people kept coming by to ask us to purchase things over and over after we said no. Couldn't relax because they were constantly interrupting us. Jet skis were 100 Euros for 20mins. We did it but everything was extremely over priced.

Just Ok! - Did not enjoy the beach. Nowhere to sit on the beach for free. Very windy and sand blowing everywhere. Water was very clear and beautiful though. Old port was very nice. Enjoyed dining by the water. Cute shops.

Average - You can take public transportation to the beach and get to old town easily from the cruise terminal for cheaper. The driver was late getting back to the beach to pick us up leaving little time to explore old town. We used other transportation to get back to the cruise terminal to have more time in old town.

Sun Beds are Extortionate Price - It's a beach but unlike Gran Canaria where 2 sun beds and a parasol are €7.50 for the day, here they are €70.00. At that price you would think you get to keep the sun bed, instead make sure you take a towel and lie on the sand for 2.5hrs

Overrated - Overall, this is what we expected - a bus trip to the beach with basically zero time actually at the beach. These types of excursions are always frustrating. We were in port from 8am-6pm, so why are the beach options only 3 hours long? We were supposed to be picked up at 9:45, but the bus didn't leave until 10am. We were supposed to get those 15 minutes extra at the beach, spoiler alert, we did not. It was a 30 minute drive to the beach, and we were there from 10am-1:15. Then, we had a 30 minute drive back to the "free time" in Old Port. We were literally driven back to the port and had to walk back to the town 5-10 minutes. The operators also had no idea who was picked up in old vs new port, so good luck to those who had to go back to new port. We just walked back onto the boat, but they had to wait for the free time to be done at 3:30pm.
The beach was nice, but it was 35 EUR for one chair and umbrella (70 EUR for two). Food and alcohol are expensive. Free restrooms. Credit cards accepted.

Don't bother, expensive and not enjoyable - Very disappointing. The beach was not very clean (cigarette butts, litter, etc). The wind was very strong, apparently quite normal, means be prepared to be sand blasted. Sun beds and umbrella shade is extortionate (35 euros each, 70 euros for a pair) and even then its likely that only one of a pair is shaded. Water is lovely, clear and cool. A bit of a saving grace. Overall, not impressed!

Not prepared! - Driver had little to no knowledge of the plan. He actually took direction from a passenger who clearly was not even supposed to be on the bus!
