About Mykonos, Greece
In summer, Mykonos attracts the crowds with its fun party atmosphere, delicious cuisine and nightlife. However, during the day, visitors head to the beaches, lying on the sand, splashing in the water, or dancing at the beach bars. For those seeking entertaining activities, Paradise, Super Paradise, Elia and Platis Gialos bays have plenty to offer. Here in summer, travelers can attend fun music events or even play golf on the beach.
Beaches to suit everyone
The only drawback is that no sun loungers or umbrellas are available for rent here. It’s best to bring your own parasol, a beach towel and a cooler with ice-cold drinks to enjoy after swimming in the turquoise water. Remember to pick up after yourself after a relaxing day in the sun.
Lively beaches
Platis Gialos is one of the fancier beaches in Mykonos and is a lively place in the summer, with plenty of restaurants, a mini-market and a number of hotels. This beach is convenient to reach by bus from the Fabrika bus station in Mykonos Town.
Generally speaking, the best beaches in Mykonos are on the southern coast, as they are protected from the winds. However, the beaches in the north of the island are just as beautiful and normally less crowded. This part of the island is ideal for all types of water sports, including surfing and diving.
Whether seeking lively nightlife or seeking the perfect beach, take a trip to the Greek Island of Mykonos in the summer of 2023. Find out more about the island on the official tourism website.
