Best Mykonos Beaches

The beaches of Mykonos are famous all over the world for their golden sand and crystal waters. Some are even considered among the most beautiful beaches in Greece.
As a top tourist destination, most beaches in Mykonos boast several tourist facilities, from seaside accommodations to beach bars, restaurants, and watersports centers. The best-organized ones are located on the southern coast, which gets extremely overcrowded during peak season.

In brief, Paradise and Super Paradise are the most famous for partying. Psarrou, featuring the renowned Nammos restaurant and seaside bar, is a favorite among jet setters and celebrities. Platis Gialos is among the most preferred areas because of the numerous hotels. Kalafatis is ideal for windsurfing and other watersports.
