The beaches of Mykonos, like those on other Greek islands, are breathtaking with their clear waters and golden sands. Some are fully equipped for the most demanding tourists, while others are untouched and offer hidden gems.

If you’re young and love music, check out the beach on the southwestern coast, easily accessible by buses and taxis. It’s known for its lively nightlife and attracts many young people. You can enjoy music or go diving here.

Close to Paradise Beach on the southern coast is another stunning spot. It’s perfect for families with its shallow waters, and the rock formations create natural pools where you can relax and sunbathe.

For those who enjoy nudist beaches and a bit of unconventionality, there’s a beach located in a small bay about 6km from Mykonos. It’s lively, with a beach bar catering to nudists and gay visitors.

On the eastern side of Mykonos, there’s a pebbly and sandy beach named after a local chapel. It’s the ideal place for a quiet holiday away from the crowds, offering picturesque landscapes.

There’s also a beach with fine golden sand where you can relax or take windsurfing lessons. This place is popular with surfers due to its wide bay and southern winds. Small hotels and excellent seafood restaurants line the coast.

For those who love luxury, there’s a beach with high-standard hotels and the chance to spot VIPs. You can also find diving schools here. It’s easily accessible but gets crowded in August, making it hard to find a sunbed or umbrella.

Lastly, Ftelia beach is an uncrowded spot perfect for combining a visit to Mykonos with a love of surfing.
