About this audio guide
This guide to Fokos Beach in Mykonos follows a Greek-Canadian family who opened a single taverna on this rocky northeastern bay in 1999 and chose, deliberately, to keep the rest of the shore undeveloped. It traces the family running it today, Chronis at the charcoal grill and his daughter Marissa selling handmade ceramics on the terrace, and the dirt track and dead cell signal that still guard the place. You'll hear about the horses that sometimes gallop through the surf here. Bring cash, since there's nothing here to swipe a card on.
