About this audio guide
This guide to Lia Beach in Mykonos follows two stories that share one stretch of sand on the island's remote southeastern coast: divers drawn by jagged rock walls dropping into clear water, and the sunbathers who arrived once a beach club appeared behind the bamboo windbreaks. It traces how the beach's isolation, with no bus and no water taxi, kept it a local secret for years before that changed. You'll hear how the two crowds now share the same shoreline without quite mixing. Listen for it from the rocks at the southern tip, where the diving starts.
