// Visit Mykonos
Mykonos is surrounded with crystal clear, aquamarine waters and its beaches are a fundamental part of its popularity. Some are accessed via tiny roads and some by boat, with a succession of great sandy beaches along the south coast to ensure you’re spoilt for choice. To help you decide, you can narrow it down by party beach versus the quieter, less popular options, but whatever your choice it will be beautiful and very well kept.
Mykonos also works on a timescale all of its own, which you quickly respect when spending time on the island. If you sit down to dinner at 10pm (people generally eat a little later on the island) and you follow this with hours of dancing or walking around Chora and Little Venice, then you aren’t going to be rising that early, so you’ll notice that the main beaches start to get populated around late morning through lunch – although there are beaches where a coveted spot for celeb watching require an early start! Platis Gialos and Psarou are very popular beaches on the south of the island; Agios Ioannis is the beach where Shirley Valentine was filmed and more private, whilst Paradise Beach is also very popular, so expect crowds.
Mykonos is also the island where the cash registers ring! In the Chora you’ll find Manhattan’s finest offerings…yes…Harry Winstone, Frank Muller, Fur & Diamonds (the name of the shop literally reflects perfectly what it sells) Tiffany, Louis Vuitton – Louis Vuitton actually create a bespoke bag for the Mykonos set each summer, available only in the island’s pop-up boutique. You’ll need your credit card or a sugar daddy to shop some of these outlets, but the locals also have gorgeous offerings with kaftans and jewellery all catching your eye and a little easier on the pocket too!
Nightlife starts on the beach and extends to ever-popular clubs. We visited the incredibly expensive, but über-stylish, Nammos Restaurant on Psarou Beach. Yachts moor up here to reserve tables that have an eye-watering minimum spend. They also own their own boat for special clients and the attached boutique sells everything from Roberto Cavalli cushions for your home to red carpet gowns. Guests who want to look great at their table can book into Nammos’s very own nail and hair bar for serious pampering – no beach hair here – yes, it’s that kind of place. Dolce & Gabbana, footballers, supermodels, politicians and Hollywood stars party here in the summer months. Magnums of Champagne can cost tens of thousands of pounds and are sold in abundance. You pay over the odds for a sunbed outside this bar, but the party and celeb spotting is so worth it! They have also recently opened Nammos Concept next door to the restaurant offering another dining experience! Top DJs play great tunes and you can even buy CDs to take home the Nammos experience!
