Fodor's Expert Review Psarou Beach

With shiny yachts moored in its clear, pretty waters, sandy Psarou attracts vacationing international VIPs, Greek TV stars and singers, and the rich and/or famous. That oversized and high-priced beach bed and umbrella may be empty, but it may have been rented in advance by someone who doesn’t want you to have it. If you know someone, you can make an advance reservation for one, too.You might bump into someone’s bodyguard; several may be casing the beach. Sophisticated yet lively restaurants are plentiful, and they host afternoon and evening parties that are fun but not crazy. If you drive from Mykonos Town, a steep scenic road leads to the beach, but once you get there you'll notice parking options are slim. Many opt for valet parking run by private companies. You can also reach Psarou by taking a short walk from nearby Platis Gialos or hopping on a boat one stop away at Ornos Bay. Amenities: food and drink; parking (paid). Best for: partiers; swimming.
