Platys Gialos

This bustling beach has a lot going for it: a long sandy beach, natural beauty, safe shallow waves, and a variety of beachfront eateries where tourists may loiter on beautiful verandas or outdoor terraces overlooking the coastline. Platys Gialos is a family-friendly beach during the day, but it's known for its nightlife in the evenings. During peak season, the beach is lined with rows of lounge chairs and sun umbrellas. Some beachside eateries serve refreshments to guests' reclining chairs, allowing for the utmost in leisure.

The bay of Platys Gialos beach is hidden by barren hillside scattered with cubic whitewashed homes, typical of a Cycladic island scenery. Several premium hotels surround the beach, offering first-rate services and stunning views of the Aegean. The Petinos Beach Hotel entices visitors with its charming Cycladic island flair. The Myconian Ambassador is a Relais & Châteaux hotel with a spa, wellness center, swimming pool, gourmet restaurant, and private charter boat services.

Beachgoers may take a caique (traditional Greek fishing boat employed as a shuttle service) from Platys Gialos to a handful of Mykonos Island's other renowned beaches, including Paradise Beach, Super Paradise Beach, and Elia Beach.
