Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What are the best beaches in Mykonos?
A: It depends on what you want! For parties: Paradise and Super Paradise beaches with DJ sets and beach clubs. For beauty and facilities: Psarou Beach (luxury), Ornos Beach (family-friendly), and Elia Beach (longest beach, diverse crowd). For quiet seclusion: Agios Sostis (no facilities but pristine!), Fokos Beach (remote and peaceful), and Kapari Beach (tiny and hidden). For windsurfing: Ftelia Beach. For LGBT scene: Super Paradise and Elia have dedicated sections. For convenience: Megali Ammos (walking distance from town). Each beach has unique character - most visitors try several! Boat tours let you sample multiple beaches in one day.
Q:How do I get to Mykonos beaches?
A: Popular beaches are accessible by: 1) Local buses from Mykonos Town (Fabrika station) - €2 per ride, running every 30 minutes in summer to major beaches. 2) Water taxis from Old Port - scenic and fun, €5-15 depending on beach. 3) Rental ATVs/cars - most popular option for beach hopping freedom (€25-40/day). 4) Organized beach tours - convenient with transportation included (€40-80). 5) Taxi - expensive (€20-40 each way). Buses are cheapest and reliable for main beaches. Remote beaches require ATV or tour. Many hotels offer beach shuttle services. Roads are good but can be narrow and winding!
Q:Are Mykonos boat tours worth it?
A: Absolutely! Boat tours reach secluded beaches and coves impossible to access by land, providing swimming spots without crowds. You'll see Mykonos' stunning coastline from the sea - a completely different perspective. Tours typically visit 3-4 beaches in one day vs. the hassle of beach-hopping independently. Lunch, drinks, and snorkeling equipment are usually included (€55-150 depending on boat type). The experience of sailing Aegean waters is magical! Catamaran tours offer luxury and stability. For comprehensive beach exploration and convenience, boat tours provide excellent value. Independent beach visits work fine but boats access the most beautiful spots!
Q:What is the party beach scene like?
A: Mykonos party beaches (Paradise, Super Paradise, Tropicana) are legendary! Beach clubs host world-famous DJs playing from afternoon through evening. The atmosphere builds throughout the day - relaxed mornings, energetic afternoons (2-7 PM), and full party mode by sunset. Expect loud music, dancing crowds, bottle service, and spring break energy! It's expensive - beach club beds €40-100, drinks €15-20. Very much an "Instagram party" scene. If you're not into loud music and crowds, avoid these beaches! Paraga and Kalafatis offer moderate scenes. The party reputation is real and draws thousands specifically for this experience!
Q:Is the water warm in Mykonos?
A: Yes, from June through September! Water temperatures reach 72-77°F (22-25°C) in peak summer (July-August) - comfortable for swimming. June and September are slightly cooler at 70-73°F (21-23°C) but still pleasant. May and October water is cool at 66-70°F (19-21°C) - refreshing but swimmable for tolerant swimmers. Winter is cold (60°F/16°C). The Aegean warms slower than the Mediterranean but summer temperatures are perfect! Beaches face different directions - south-facing beaches warm earliest in season. Wind can make water feel cooler. Overall, Mykonos offers excellent swimming conditions May through October!
Q:Do I need to book beach club loungers in advance?
A: For popular beaches in peak season (July-August), definitely yes! Famous beach clubs like Scorpios, Nammos, and SantAnna require advance reservations and often have minimum spending (€100-500 per person!). Mid-range beach clubs at Paradise, Ornos, or Elia can be booked day-of in shoulder season but book ahead for weekends. Public beach areas (non-club sections) never require reservations - just arrive and set up your towel for free! Many beaches have both club and public areas. Expect to pay €20-50 for standard lounger sets, €40-100+ for front-row premium positions. Book luxury clubs days or weeks ahead!
Q:Can you swim year-round in Mykonos?
A: Technically yes, but practically only May through October. Summer (June-September) offers perfect swimming temperatures at 72-77°F (22-25°C). May and October are cooler but pleasant at 66-70°F (19-21°C) for those who don't mind refreshing water. Winter (November-April) is cold at 60-65°F (16-18°C) - only for very hardy swimmers! Most beaches and beach clubs close November through March. The swimming season aligns with tourism season. For best experience, visit June-September. Shoulder months (May, October) work fine if you're okay with cooler water and limited beach facilities. Greeks typically swim June-September.
