Staying at Platis Gialos Beach, Mykonos
Platis Gialos sits on the southern coast of Mykonos, roughly 4 kilometers from Mykonos Town (Chora). The bay is one of the longest and most sheltered on the island, which keeps the water calm and makes it a practical choice for families with children or anyone who finds the choppier northern beaches less appealing. The atmosphere here is relaxed compared to the party-focused strips elsewhere on the island: beach bars and sunbeds line the shore, but the mood stays comfortable rather than loud. A regular bus service connects the area to Mykonos Town, and water taxis leave from Platis Gialos to reach more remote beaches such as Psarou, Agrari and Super Paradise, which makes it a convenient hub for exploring the southern coastline without renting a vehicle.
