Psarou Mykonos resort report and satellite view of Psarou

Psarou Mykonos

A steep road winds down the hillside to a taverna car park at south facing Psarou which is found about 2km west of Plats Yilaos and regarded as a bit more up-market than its near neighbour. Psarou is about 5km from Mykonos Town and there is a regular bus service to Platis Yialos with a walk to Psarou either along the main road or a well marked coastal path. A water taxi also leaves regularly from Ornos beach.
This was one of the first beaches to be developed on Mykonos but has been spared the dubious advantage of becoming a party beach. It's still got a cosmopolitan air though and is surrounded by posh hotels and smart restaurants that include a sushi bar and even a Greek taverna!
The beach is medium sized and thin with sun beds and showers, though you won't find many places to just lay down a towel. In August it gets so crowded you will be lucky even to get a sun bed and holidaymakers may have to queue to get one. The water is shallow and calm so its fine for families. There is a variety of water sports including a scuba diving school.
