The story of the south coast beaches

The south coast of Mykonos is protected from the strong northern Meltemi winds, so its bays have calmer water. Beaches range from family-friendly Ornos and Agios Ioannis to the glamorous Psarou and lively Paradise.

Clear turquoise water, golden sand and beach restaurants make them the main draw for summer visitors.
