Psarou Beach
Ψαρού
A small, elegant bay on the south coast with calm, emerald-green water. Its upscale beach clubs and celebrity yachts have made it synonymous with luxury in Mykonos.
Psarou Beach is a small bay about 4 km south of Chora, surrounded by hills. Even on windy days the water stays calm, and it is clear and emerald green, making it good for swimming. The beach is known for its high-end atmosphere. The famous Nammos beach club often attracts celebrities and wealthy visitors, luxury yachts anchor in the bay, and front-row loungers are expensive, so book ahead in peak season. Budget-conscious travelers can lay a towel down at one end of the beach, or walk about 10 minutes to the more affordable neighboring Platis Gialos Beach, which has more family hotels, seafood tavernas, and well-equipped facilities. Platis Gialos is also the departure point for water taxis to Paradise Beach, Paradise Bay, and other south coast beaches. In summer, a bus from town takes about 15 minutes.
