The best way to experience Mykonos beaches — water taxis run from Platis Gialos south to Paraga, Paradise, Super Paradise, Agrari, and Elia beaches. Each beach has a completely different character: Platis Gialos (organized, good facilities), Paraga (Scorpios, quieter), Paradise (the party), Super Paradise (JackieO', LGBTQ+-friendly, gorgeous turquoise bay), Elia (long, quieter, more local). Depart Platis Gialos from 10am — buy return ticket when you board.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The best way to experience Mykonos beaches — water taxis run between Paradise, Super Paradise, Elia, and Agrari throughout the day. Each beach has its own personality, from party to peaceful.
What Stands Out
- Water taxis from Platis Gialos: the most efficient beach transport on the island
- Paradise Beach: organized sunbeds, party starts 4pm, Cavo Paradiso cliff club above
- Super Paradise: JackieO', LGBTQ+-inclusive, smaller and more beautiful bay than Paradise
- Elia: longest beach on Mykonos, furthest south, less crowded, more local atmosphere
- Agrari: small, quieter, between Super Paradise and Elia — the undiscovered middle ground
- Note: Meltemi winds July–August can create rough water taxi conditions — check before booking
