THE BEACH
The awesome beaches of Mykonos. Here you can see Psarou Beach in the foreground, next is Platys Gialos Beach, then near the top of picture you can see Agia Anna Beach, and on the far side of that little peninsula is Paraga Beach (not visible). A little farther around the corner (at the top) is Paradise Beach. All of these are connected by a footpath along the coast. It’s a highlight of Mykonos to walk between the 5 beaches – swimming, drinking, and eating along the way. And you can take a boat back if you’re out of energy.
THE GOOD LIFE
The big decision visitors need to make is whether to stay in Mykonos (the most nightlife, shopping, and restaurants) or one of the beaches. Buses run regularly (and late) from the main beaches to and from Mykonos Town, so it’s easy to stay in one spot and enjoy the other. My preference is to stay in Mykonos Town and take the bus to beach through the day. Then return to town in the late afternoon and get ready to enjoy the evening when Mykonos Town really comes alive. The best place to stay in Mykonos for partying is Mykonos Town, for families it’s Ornos or Platys Gialos, and for romance and honeymoons stay in Agios Ioannis, Psarou, or Mykonos Town (though pretty much every town is perfect for a honeymoon holiday).
