Rick Steves loves hidden gems over hotspots. When it comes to beaches in Greece, Mykonos is bustling and full of tourists, so Steves prefers the calm vibes of Agios Ioannis.
Steves says, "My favorite beach is Agios Ioannis, a remote patch of sand tucked behind a mountain ridge that gives me the feeling of being on a castaway isle."
He adds that the beach has loungers, which you are welcome to claim, though someone will collect a fee. He explains that you can easily visit Agios Ioannis via bus or car.
At this quiet beach, you can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. Steves also warns that even the family-oriented beaches in Greece can attract some topless beachgoers.
