Psarrou, Mediterranean beach in Mykonos, Greece
Psarrou is a sandy beach with golden shoreline and clear turquoise waters situated on the southern coast of Mykonos within a sheltered cove. The waterfront features rows of restaurants and sun loungers arranged along the sandy edge.
The beach began as a simple fishing location before gaining popularity as a destination in the 1980s. This transformation into an upscale destination with moored yachts and visitors from around the world reshaped its character.
The beach embodies present-day Greek island living through its combination of casual tavernas and fine dining spots where visitors sample Mediterranean food. The blend of local and international visitors creates the social character of the place.
You can reach the beach by bus from Mykonos Town or by water taxi from nearby beaches. The shoreline has limited free space and tends to get crowded during peak season.
The beach is known for its protected position that maintains calm conditions even when strong winds blow elsewhere. This natural shield makes it a dependable spot for swimming through the windy summer months.
