The seaside settlement of Agios Stefanos is situated about 4 kilometres north of Mykonos (Hora). The area took its name from the chapel of the same name, which lies on the edge of the bay, and it was mentioned in manuscripts dating back at least 500 years ago. Nowadays, Agios Stefanos has built the infrastructure required for tourism. Hotels, rooms to let, guest's rooms, seaside tavernas and water-sport centres, have placed the area among the most preferred by the tourists who flood the island every summer
