Staying in Psarou
Located just 5 km from Mykonos Town, Psarou is a beautiful beach in a quiet bay. Psarou is exclusive, with very high prices for food, sun beds and rentals. There are some excellent restaurants along the water, and a good size public area of the beach for towels and blankets. Nammos Beach Club is popular though overpriced, with packed in sun beds (~150 €/day) that reach to the water’s edge. Inland from the beach is the Nammos Village shopping area with a combination of international luxury brands and small boutique shops, surrounded by a nicely landscaped plaza. There’s a great walk along the water between Psarou and the adjacent Platis Gialos beach, which is where you’ll be coming from if you’re arriving or departing by public bus. Platis Gialos is also the closest stop on the Mykonos water taxi that shuttles passengers between beaches on the Southern coast.
