Panoramic view of Agios Stefanos beach in Mykonos island, Greece, on July 29, 2020 near the new harbor of the island and just 3.5KM away from Myconos town. The sandy beach is popular for tourists and locals for restaurants, watersports, sunbeds, nearby hotels etc. Lot of young people are seen relaxing, swimming, sunbathing and enjoying the moment and beach life. The little natural coast, a bay between mountain terrain, hills and rocks is a peaceful white sand beach, with transparent crystal clear water. The beach offers view to the ferry and yachts and the hills with the traditional architecture from Cyclades, Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean buildings and houses. Despite the government's mandates for social distancing because of the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic outbreak, the beachgoers appear not to hold the required safety distance. Greece relaxed the lockdown and lifted most of the travel ban measures to jumpstart and boost the tourism industry as it is one of the main income sector in the country's economy.
