Psarou Mykonos Beach Photos 

Ornos Beach Mykonos 

Psarou Beach

Psarou beach Mykonos

Psarou is one of the loveliest beaches on the island.
It is covered by pale golden sand while the sea having emerald green water.
Psarou has taken a new lease on the glory days of the 80's and since last year is once again in the limelight, attracting literally all the celebrities on the island.

Platis Yalos Beach



This is a large, tourist sandy beach in the southern part of the island.
Platis Yalos beach is surrounded by hotels and organized with umbrellas and sun beds.
It is addressed to tourists, and provides an ideal solution for mothers with small children.

The yachts that often anchor there are also impressive, particularly if you gaze upon them from a hotel veranda, like the one of Myconian Ambassador, one of the best five-star hotels of the island.

Ai-Yannis beach

Ai-Yannis or Agios Ioannis beach is a large sheltered beach with sand, in the eastern part of the island.
It is very easy to get there, while the whole area is extremely developed for tourists and is very close to the main town.
You will find umbrellas and sun beds along the beach. Ai-Yannis used to be popular mainly to the Greek visitors. Nowadays, it has been turned to the most updating among the people prefer nearby Kapari leaving Ai-Yannis to the masses of tourists who stay in the numerous hotels of the district.

Paranga Beach



Paranga is one of the smallest and loveliest beaches of the island. It is located on the south coast of Mykonos and it is covered bys fine pale sand and some rocks forming a natural diving platform.
Umbrellas of dry leaves, restaurants and beach bars under the trees and sun beds emblazoned Copa Paraga, create a gorgeous summer scene.
The Paraga Cafe has played a huge role in the spectacular transformation of this beach, attracting lots of young people.

Panormos Beach

Panormos is a large, sandy beach on the island's northern coast.
It can be reached only by private means of transport.
Actually, it didn't attract many people in the past and it was popular just to the permanent habitants or the frequents visitors who knew the island very well.
However, last years, Giorgios Sakiaras and his crew created there one of the coziest and most relaxed all-day haunts in Mykonos. So, more and more people are attracted there every summer.

Agrari Beach

Agrari is one the prettiest beaches of the island. It is large and sandy, divided into a left and right part, and offers umbrellas, sun beds, water sports and a beach restaurant. For reasons unknown to all, the "correct" part of this beach, is to the left...
The beautiful blue, crystal clear waters will make you to forget the difficult road, and the true lord of the beach.

Elia Beach



Elia is a very beautiful and easily accessible beach, coevered by fine golden sand.
It is known as "gay-friendly" by the connoisseurs of Mykonos. Here you will come across many of those who feature in the society pages of magazines and newspapers, as well as those who want to be like them.

Aghios Sostis Beach

Aghios Sostis is located to the north of Mykonos. It is a large sandy beach but it is really difficult access it due to the fact that the road is bad and the local means of transport do not run there. In fact, Aghios Sostis is a non-touristy beach as there are no umbrellas or sun beds not even a beach bar along it. So, this is ideal for people who prefer non-crowdy beaches where they can enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape.
It used to be a traditional nudist beach in the past.

Super Paradise Beach



Super Paradise is the most beautiful as well as the busiest beach of Mykonos, still relatively hard to get to. It is large, with fine sand, a clear blue, cool sea that deepens abruptly, great crowds and its own... seating plan: the gays on the right, the fashionable socialites on the left and the tourists in the middle. You will meet rising TV stars here, models, second-grade actors, various second rate socialites, paparazzi, lots of youngsters and, naturally, many nudists. Its umbrellas provide refuge to some of the hottest affairs of the year each summer that fill the colour pages of the yellow press in abundance. Scenes from the beach appear even on various blogs and websites.
