For the longest time, when we think of Greek islands, Santorini is always the first to come to mind. But over the past several years, the island of Mykonos has emerged as a top tourist destination too.

Although Mykonos is just a small island, it has so many things to offer to tourists. Best known as a party island, it sizzles with picturesque beaches and pulsates with vibrant nightlife. In addition, it is overflowing with natural beauty too! All these scenic sites and entertainment venues can easily fill a week’s itinerary.

If you’re still building your Mykonos itinerary and you’re confused by so many options, here’s a quick guide on what’s best in Mykonos that deserves your time.

Best Beaches in Mykonos

Mykonos is primarily a summer destination, so naturally, the beaches are the main attraction. In peak season, countless visitors walk or lounge along its shores. In lean season, they can get pretty tamed and quiet. But these are the top beaches on the island.

• Super Paradise Beach. For the party-goer, Sugar Paradise Beach harbors wildly famous clubs including Jackie O and Super Paradise Club. At sunset, the area becomes a dance floor until sunrise the next day. If you have friends who keep on raving about insane parties they experienced in Mykonos, they probably took place here.
• Paraga Beach. Located in a small cove along the southern edge of the island, Paraga Beach glistens with golden sand, lapped by crystal clear waters. It’s a small cove, but a great lounge spot. You can event spot some celebrities here if you’re lucky.
• Ftelia Beach. For those who want a quieter Mykonos beach experience. This beach laces one part of the Protective Bay on the northern coast of the island. It’s a quiet spot, far from the party beaches in the south. But strong winds make it a great venue for windsurfing. It has only one all day bar restaurant and few visitors.
• Panormos Beach. Also located on the north side of the island, along the Protective Bay. It is a virgin beach with only a few facilities. Also for the quiet type.
