Mykonos · The south-coast beaches · Παράγκα, Παράδεισος, Σούπερ Παράδεισος
East of Platis Gialos the coast turns into the reason many people come to Mykonos at all. At Paraga, Scorpios hosts its long sunset gatherings over the sea. Paradise has partied since 1969, when the Paradise Beach club opened, with dancing on the sand from late afternoon; on the cliff at its western end, Cavo Paradiso, open since 1993, is the island's open-air superclub, with world-famous DJs who come on around 01:45 and play until the sun is up. Over the hill lies Super Paradise, with the JackieO' beach club.
The party coast: beach clubs by day, Cavo Paradiso until breakfast
Mykonos discovered the party long before the rest of Greece. The jet set came in the 1960s; in the 1970s the beaches were known for nude bathing; and by the 1980s the island had become one of the great gay destinations of Europe, which it still is. The beach clubs of this coast grew out of all three.
Be warned, cheerfully: this is one of the most expensive coastlines in Greece. Tables with sunbeds, bottle service and cabanas are priced for people with yachts. The good news is that the beaches themselves are public, the bus and the beach boat are cheap, and nothing stops you dancing on the sand.
