Beaches
The most famous and organized beaches of Mykonos are located on the south of the island: Some of those are Psarou (famous for its luxury beach clubs), Super Paradise and Paraga (known for their party vibe), and Platis Gialos (perfect for families and water sports). Generally, the beaches in the south are protected from the wind and offer full amenities.
The beaches on the north side are wilder and secluded, often affected by the Meltemi winds. For this reason, places like Ftelia and Panormos are popular among windsurfers and those seeking a more bohemian, laid-back atmosphere away from the crowds.

Mykonos serves as the ultimate stage for life’s most memorable moments. The island’s unique light, the deep blue backdrop of the Aegean, and the romantic whitewashed chapels create a dream setting for unmatched celebrations. Whether you envision a fairytale wedding, a romantic vow renewal at sunset, or an exclusive private party under the stars, the island offers venues that range from bohemian beach settings to ultra-luxurious private estates.
Planning an event here is about creating magic. You can combine a traditional ceremony in a picturesque church with a glamorous reception at a world-class venue or an intimate gathering in total privacy.
