All About Mykonos Beaches

All About Panormos Beach

This is the only beach on Mykonos where you can find a pet, pot-bellied pig roaming among the tourists. Panormos Beach welcomes everyone including families. Children can play on the beach or climb on the rocks to the left discovering sea life in the shallow pools of sea water. The colors of the incredible sunrises or sunsets on the barren hill sides surrounding this beach are not to be missed!

This increasingly popular, northern beach has become the destination in recent years Panormos Beach, Mykonosof the more bohemian Greeks, locals and a mix of tourists. Nudity is perfectly acceptable here, especially on the far right side of the beach. This beach is somewhat undeveloped without umbrellas and sun beds, though on the far right there are rustic toilets. It is a narrow, fine sand stretch of beach with little alcoves scattered along the back side, in the low sand dunes, where you can sometimes find a bit of privacy.

If you choose to stay on the left side near the beach bar - taverna, located between a large, wild bamboo area and beautiful shade trees, you will find more activity, music, food, drinks and a lively atmosphere. There is plenty of shade under the pergola while enjoying a drink, a meal or the company of friends. To the left of the beach there is also a taverna on the garden hillside or a pool cafe that is part of a hotel where you can relax, have a snack and take a dip in the pool.

Panormos is a north beach located en route to Agios Sostis Beach, after driving through the countryside passing the Marathi Water Reservoir. The sea can be a little rough when the north wind blows, but you can still find a bit of protection to lay your towel and work on your tan. Almost always you will see small, local fishing boats and private yachts anchored in the bay. Fishermen launch their boats or fish off the rocks to the left of the beach.

To reach this beach you can take a taxi or rent a car - motorbike. There is some parking to be found right next to the beach. Bus service is not available. A hotel, villas, apartments or rooms for rent can be found on the surrounding hillside.
