Paradise Beach on the tiny Greek island Mykonos is one of the hottest beaches in the world. Decadence and hedonism are at display here throughout the summer season.
The famous beach is nice and flat. There is a huge selection of popular bars playing music located on the beach. From late afternoon the party “takes off” and the beach guests starts dancing on the beach and in the bars.

If you feel it’s a bit weird that people dance on tables as early as 4 PM this is not the beach for you. Loud music and an intense party atmosphere must be expected. Paradise beach is not the place for a relaxing day on the beach.
Bring your abs
The majority of visitors to the beach are young and beautiful. Everyone is really open minded and no one cares if you are topless or a nudist. Sexy micro swimwear and fancy thongs are the preferred outfit for many of the visitors to the beach.
What’s the beach like?

The island is composed primarily of granite. It has little natural fresh water and relies on the desalination of sea water in order to meet its needs. There are 9,320 inhabitants (2001) most of whom live in the largest town, Mykonos, also known as Chora (i.e. the Town in Greek, a common denomination in Greece when the name of the island itself is the same as the name of the principal town), which lies on the west coast.
It is believed that the island was named after a local hero, who is considered an offspring of the god Apollo and was worshipped locally in antiquity.
