Kalo Livati is a very beautiful spot and the studios are exactly how the pictures show, so I wasn't at all disappointed an the view of the beach is stunning and just30 secs to get there.
What really surprised me arriving in Mykonos was that it was colder than I'd expected (end of Sept but I think this is unusual and normally it would be late 20s), very windy and expensive - comparable to London prices!!! I obviously hadn't done much research.
Antonis was a great host and collected me from the airport, was helpful talking me to the supermarket and into town when I realised I really did need transport, otherwise it's very very quiet and a bit isolating. Depends what time of year and what you are looking for. In summer there are 3 tavernas on the beach so you could happily stay there without moving, but mid Oct they close without transport you are limited for things to do in the evening.
The studios are very good value for money.
I'd highly recommend getting a quad bike, they're €15 a day and lots of fun, making it easy to nip between beaches. The sea colours of Kalo Livadi are the most stunning blues and turquoises and even if windy the sea was warm once you are in. Elia the next beach is cool, a bit more lively with nudist (predominantly gay) beach at the right end by the rocks. Here was very sheltered and it was a great sunbathing spot. Agia Anna in the other direction was really beautiful and there is a small church too which is open. I ate at Markos restaurant and I was really gutted when they charged €30 for a fish soup that was a small piece of fish (mainly bone) with vegetables. I have since seen the same plate in town for €9. That said their drinks are very reasonable, and fried yellow cheese delicious, so just be careful what you order! I loved the place at the far end of Kalafatis for drinks lounging by the sea - stunning and good food - also you can go on a diving/snorkel trip from here.
There are loads of little and reasonable restaurants in Ano Mera by the square, nicer than expected and I hadn't realised there is a little monastery here too to check out.
Overall, I felt very lucky to have such a quiet spot and laps of the beach in that stunning water was my highlight. Good wifi, gorgeous hot showers, great terrace where you can do yoga/write/eat:sunbathe and a coffee machine!
Antonis was also very helpful and flexible with my booking and offered me to move to another place they have in town when I was bored at night, which was very much appreciated (although I chose to enjoy the quiet a bit longer).
