The Most Beautiful Beaches of Mykonos
The most popular and charming beaches where you can enjoy the sun, sea and fun on Mykonos, the most famous island of the Aegean.
Psarou: Where Luxury and Tranquility Meet
Psarou is one of the island's most exclusive and elegant beaches. Famous for its white sand and crystal-clear, calm waters, it's home to upscale restaurants like the world-famous Nammos. While ideal for those seeking a relaxing day, sunbed prices are significantly higher than the Mykonos average.
Super Paradise: The Bay Where Energy Never Ends
Known for its high-octane parties that begin in the afternoon, Super Paradise is a must-see for young people and those looking for fun. With music increasing in volume as the day progresses, this beach best embodies the hedonistic spirit of Mykonos. Transportation is generally provided by water taxi or bus.
Elia: For Families and Peace Seekers
Elia, one of Mykonos's longest beaches, offers a calmer, windless atmosphere. One section of the beach is reserved for luxurious sun loungers, while the other offers a more relaxed and free experience. Located in the south of the island, Elia is relatively less affected by the wind, and the sea is generally smooth.
Ornos: Comfort and Accessibility
Thanks to its proximity to the center (Chora) and sheltered location, Ornos is one of the island's best-organized beaches. It's especially perfect for families with children and those seeking a calm sea. The surrounding area is home to numerous hotels, cafes, and tavernas, making it a highly convenient choice.
Platys Gialos: The Gateway to Other Bays
Platys Gialos is both a beautiful beach and the main departure point for water taxis to other famous beaches such as Psarou, Paradise, and Elia. It's a very lively and vibrant beach. Numerous restaurants and establishments line the beach, making it a great base for swimming and easy access to other surrounding beaches.
Remember: Many beaches in Mykonos may require reservations for sun loungers and umbrellas during high season. It's always a good idea to get there early.
