Best beaches in Mykonos

Top Beaches

Mykonos features a coastline ranging from high-energy party hubs to secluded natural retreats. Paradise and Super Paradise are synonymous with the island's famous beach club scene, while Ornos and Platys Gialos offer organized facilities and shallow waters suitable for families. For windsurfing, Kalafati provides ideal offshore conditions. Visitors seeking quiet can find undeveloped stretches at Agios Sostis and Lia, or the remote, wind-protected bay of Panormos. These sixteen destinations highlight the island’s characteristic golden sands, crystal-clear Aegean waters, and a diverse landscape of pebbled coves and expansive shores.
