The most important maybe of the tourist advantages of Mykonos, which makes it special among all the islands of the Aegean Sea, are its beaches.

There are here, without doubt, the most -and the best- beaches one can finding in such a small island. Especially on its southern part, the scenic coves with their beautiful sandy beaches never end.

One can reach these beaches by car or motorbike, as the road network that radiates from Hora (the city of Mykonos) spreads almost towards every corner of the island.Especially because of this feature of Mykonos' road network, many southern beaches are also connected with one another by boats which sail on a regular basis all day throughout the summer, something which could prove to visitors an excellent opportunity for excursions.

Leaving, then, Hora of Mykonos (in the port of which there is a small beach which some tourists prefer for convenience) with a direction towards the south, one can see in turn the following most popular beaches:

Megali Ammos

The closest to Hora worth-visiting beach on the island.

Agios Ioannis

A relatively popular beach with a unique view to Dilos (to the west).

Ornos

Lee beach on the north of Korfos, with regular bus service, considerable amount of hotels and restaurants. Small fish port and ideal anchorage for yachts. There is a SCUBA diving school. It's the first in a series of southern beaches that follow.

Psarou

Beautiful, popular and organized beach with sea sports (SCUBA diving school and more).

Platis Gialos

It is perhaps the most frequently-visited beach of Mykonos. It has a beautiful sandy beach, high class hotels, restaurants and very frequent bus service. It is the starting point of the sea transport connection to the southern beaches by boat: Paraga, Kalamopodi, Plidri, Agrari, Elia.

Paraga

A beautiful, small beach with a nice landscape (Drapanos cape). At its back is the beach of Ag. Anna and one of the two camping facilities of the island.

Beautiful and much-frequented beach, known since the "hippies" era. Big camping and sea sports. Transport.

'Super Paradise' (Plidri)

The most famous beach on the island. The crazy parties which come up on the beach made it the most important attraction for young visitors. After the 50's it has been recognized as the special place where the VIPS meet.
