for cosmopolitans
PAnormos The beach of Panormos in the very northern part of the island is not as secluded and private
as it used to be. nowadays, it’s rather a very hip place to be, where you can find a couple of pop-ups and
contemporary eateries. what has not changed, though, is its natural beauty, crystal clear turquoise waters and
the long stretch of sand, perfect for all kinds of sport in or outside the water.

most famous beaches on mykonos island. sunbathing, chilling and water sports are the order of the day on the
white sandy shores and in the crystal clear waters of this beach. why don’t you give jet skiing, motor boating,
fishing or surfing a try? There is also a range of fine restaurants serving epicurean delights and excellent wine
if you feel like indulging.
SUPeR PARADISe is often described as one of the most beautiful beaches on mykonos. it is located in a small,
deep bay and captivates with its crystalline emerald waters and golden shimmering sand. entire generations
of party lovers with a taste for heavy beats have danced and celebrated here – just be warned, it can be very
crowded during peak season.
PArAgA owes its fame to the hippie generation of the seventies. ever since, it has been popular with jet-
setters who enjoy the bohemian lifestyle. The southern part of Paraga Beach is somewhat calmer, while the
northern side is much more organised, with a bar-restaurant with loyal fans where the beats take over from late
afternoon well into the evening. Diving from the rock straight into the sea is an absolute must-have experience!
