Ornos – Quieter neighbour of world-famous Mykonos town
Ornos is a small beach resort just a couple of miles south-west of the famously energetic capital, Mykonos Town. Ornos holidays can combine the attractions of a smaller beach resort with all the excitement of Mykonos Town which is just a couple of miles along the coast and offers an unforgettable mix of picturesque lanes, traditional whitewashed houses, typical blue-domed churches, interesting shops and famously trendy stylish nightlife. Ornos holiday nightlife revolves around its beachside bars and tavernas and is much more tranquil than Mykonos Town. With the capital so close, Ornos holidays can easily include several nights out to sample the famous nightlife and bright lights of its world-famous neighbour. Mykonos Town is within walking distance and regular buses and plentiful taxis make the trip into town in just 10 minutes. Ornos holidays can enjoy everything on offer in the capital while remaining a little apart in a small quieter resort.
Ornos holidays – Excellent long sandy beach
Ornos holidays centre on Ornos beach, a popular long stretch of beautiful golden sand and clear water set in a very long bay. Beautiful Ornos beach is the nearest beach resort to the capital and is a popular choice with families and those looking for a quieter alternative to Mykonos Town. Ornos beach is excellent for swimming with sand sloping gently to the sea. Ornos beach has plenty of typical resort facilities and is lined with an agreeable selection of bars, tavernas and restaurants. Inland from the resort is the original village which stretches up steeply into the surrounding hills. Ornos holiday beach is south facing in the most protected part of Ornos Bay, well-protected from the famous Meltemia winds that often hit Mykonos beaches from the north. Ornos holidays offer a range of watersports and schools offer instruction in diving, waterskiing and windsurfing.
Holidays in Ornos – Great base for southern beaches
Ornos holidays offer a good base for exploring Mykonos island and in particular the beaches of the south. Holidays in Ornos can make the most of a small flotilla of local boats that leave the small port to ferry visitors to other nearby Mykonos beaches, a very pleasant way of exploring attractive neighbours like Aghios Ioannis beach, a picturesque small stretch of soft white sand and shingle with fantastically clear water surrounded by pretty hilly countryside. Small boats leave for most of the southern Mykonos beaches and the island of Delos.
