Platis Gialos
Πλατύς Γιαλός
The most convenient family beach on the south coast, lined with hotels and well-equipped facilities, and the departure point for water taxis to the bays.
Platis Gialos lies about 4 km south of Mykonos Town. It is one of the island's earliest and best-developed beaches, with a wide sandy shore, calm shallow water, and rows of hotels and restaurants, making it ideal for families with children. Buses run frequently from the Fabrika station in town, taking about 15 minutes. This is the main pier for south coast water buses (Sea Bus). In summer, boats leave roughly every half hour for Paradise Beach, Super Paradise, Agrari, Elia, and other beaches, making it the best starting point for a day of hopping between beaches. Psarou Beach is a 10-minute walk away, and you can eat seafood at a beachfront restaurant in the evening.
