Lovely beach, a small area if you just want to sit on the sand. Plenty of beach bars/sun beds if you want them stretching across most of the beach. Clear lovely water and soft silty sand make it a relaxing place. I personally just sat away from the beach bar on the sand and listened to the music.

OK, so the beach here is beautiful. The vibe is very nice and calm, but the restaurants are total scams! You get a free daybed or cabana right on the beautiful water, but they only have one size extra large drinks. They charge you for seafood per gram and don’t tell you and it is just ridiculous. Crazy prices for mediocre food! There is a space on the beach where you can just sit without sitting on a daybed at a restaurant. Do that and save your money! This would all be fine if they were more transparent. BEWARE!

The beach is fantastic, white sand and calm, clear water. We could see little fishes surrounding our feet and legs. From there we took a water-taxi that took us to other beachs by the sea. But the experience was not perfect because we were maliciously and expensively deceived at the beach area of the Mykonos Kosmoplaz Beach Resort. Avoid it! We were arriving at the beach and a waiter offered us two sun beds and un umbrella on the sand, saying it would be free of charge if we just order a drink per person. But at the end they charged us over 300 euros for a couple of drinks ("caipirinhas") and a portion of squid rings. Before me at the line for the Cashier I've heard another customer complaining with the man in charge for the same reason. It was our first experience at the beach at Mykonos. But luckily, next day, we were delighted to pay a half of that amount at a real beach club ("SantAnna" at Paraga beach), for a gorgeous day-stay with drinks, pool and lunch! A painful lesson of the famous "Cheap is Expensive".

One of the most convenient and beautiful beaches on the South shore of Mykonos. You can come here for the day and enjoy clear blue waters. There are many restaurants that offer great casual dining. They rent beach loungers and umbrellas as well. Kid friendly.

We are staying near Ornos beach, and wanted to spend a day at a different beach (south coast). 2 adults (50:s), 4 ”kids” 18-23. We had a hard time choosing which beach to go to, as most of the beaches have some really bad reviews, and also we wanted to book sunbeds ahead. Someone recommended Platis Gialos Beach - which we had already ruled out based on reviews (scams, loud music, overly crowded…) - but they also specifically recommended Yialo Yialo Beach Club as better than most other beach clubs there. We really enjoyed this beach! The water was very calm and clear and a beautiful color. Lovely, soft sand and nice view. Some nice restaurants and a small supermarket. But choose beach club carefully! Yialos Yialos (around the middle, beige umbrellas) I can warmly recommend: You can book ahead. Comfortable sunbeds at a reasonable price (€50 for a set of 2 beds + umbrella, plus € 5 per towel unless you bring your own), friendly and service minded staff, and nice ambience in the beach restaurant, where we had a lovely lunch. But on this beach, to the right, you also find dk Oyster, which seems to have a very bad reputation. And to the left, there were 2 clubs competing in who could play the loudest, most annoying music, from around lunch time. One was called Branco, the other I don’t know the name of - but see pictures below. Some might love this, but some people there looked quite miserable…

Many of the beaches in Mykonos will not allow you just to rent one beach chair. They want to rip you off and make you pay for two chairs at €50 each plus a €50 minimum spend. This beach did not do that. I had a wonderful day there , Only paid €30 for one beach chair and ate at the Greek restaurant right on the beach. Fantastic day!! I took the bus from Fabrika bus station in Mykonos town for two euros, super easy to get to super friendly party atmosphere but chill .

Our family of four (two adults, two 13 and under) chose this beach because it was a short bus ride from old port and mentioned being good for families. When we arrived we walked onto the small boardwalk that leads across the beach area through restaurants and past shops. The first place tried to sell us two beds and an umbrella for 120€. We laughed and moved on. As we approached the second set of sunbeds - attached to the Yialo-Yialo restaraunt - a gentleman named Giovanni approached and told us the other places were crazy and his two beds were 40€ flat. We thanked him and moved on thinking there was a catch, but we didn't get far before we turned around and took him up on the offer. The beds and umbrella worked well each with a small wooden lockbox for purses, etc. and a small table. They were playing classical Greek folk music which was excellent and we ate from the lunch menu which was decent. A lifeguard was directly in front of us on duty and watching over everyone. Prices were slightly high, but that's to be expected. The food being served at Yialo-Yialo looked professionally made and tasty, but we didn't eat there. The Yialo-Yialo staff was friendly, but busy, A small supermarket shop next door had a friendly guy with decent prices on supplies. He said it was OK to buy a beer there for 3€ and enjoy it at our seat, which I did and had no issues. Overall, we had a great time, enjoyed the beach, the atmosphere, and the lunch. Wear sunscreen! The UV index at this beach is 8+ at 12 noon. You will get burnt to a crisp!

Beautiful sandy beach, warm crystal clear water. Paid 40 E for 2 padded chairs with umbrella in September at Acrogiali beach bar, close to bus entrance. Quiet beach with no loud music playing, just the ocean waves. Bus is easy to take from town and cheap. Get there early to get front row beach chairs and enjoy!
