The absolute haven for wind-surfers and wind-surfing fans, Kalafatis beach on the eastern side of Mykonos is favored by the winds, has its own wind-surfing school -also renting the necessary equipment- and is frequently the setting of organized competitions. For those who are not particularly fond of wind-surfing, there is always the beach-volley court, the water sports area and a diving centre that organizes excursions to the two little islands nearby. Sun beds and umbrellas are available for rent, but there is also great shade from the trees where the sand ends. There are quite a few accommodation choices, such as hotels, apartments and rooms to let, as well as plenty of traditional tavernas for nice seafood, a beach bar, a mini market for supplies, a pizzeria and a few other cafes and restaurants. Kalafatis beach is easily accessible by regular bus service from Mykonos town and by car or motorbike.
