Panormos

Panormos beach is just a short drive from Mykonos town. It’s located on the northern side of the island and because of it’s exposed position it can sometimes be windy. But if you catch it on a calm day it’s the perfect place to see a less crowded side of Mykonos.

While the surrounding area is upmarket and luxurious, Panormos is an unorganised beach, so if you want shade you’ll need to take your own umbrella! Another thing to note is that it’s frequented by nudists. The beach is super accessible if you’re renting a car or when the bus service is running you can catch a ride from the Old Port.

Agios Sostis

Agios Sostis is another one of the top beaches in Mykonos that we recommend you visit. Like Panormos, it is located on the less visited northern side of the island. Because the beach is unorganised and has no facilities you will need to take your own umbrella, water and snacks.

There is also no public transportation to this beach, but if you’re thinking of hiring a car or ATV this won’t be a problem. After you park your vehicle you will need to take a 5-10 minute walk to the beach itself, so keep that in mind. However, if you come prepared this beach is the perfect quiet spot to enjoy the Mykonian sun, far removed from the hustle and bustle of those further south.
