Paranga
Luxury Villas in Paraga, Mykonos
Paraga beach is one of the most popular and most visited shores in Mykonos that is located less than 4 miles (6km) southeast of the Chora or Mykonos Town. Conveniently situated between the other famous resorts of Platis Gialos and Paradise Beach, mostly preferred by the crème-de-la-crème of Hollywood, and not only, but Paranga is also legendary for its vibrant beach parties and the many opportunities to have sheer and absolute, to-the-b0ne, Mykonian fun.
What Makes Paranga Beach Unique
Besides the many options to have fun whatever way each one defines it, from yachting and windsurfing to sunbathing and climbing, you also get to choose exactly how loud you want your vacation to be.
The beach is separated by a natural rock and sand formation, which actually gives sun loungers the chance to enjoy two different sides of seashore pleasure. Indeed, the two beautiful beaches that are created that way appeal to different crowds. For example, if you long for more privacy and seclusion, the southern part of the shore (which also serves as a naturist beach) is much quieter than its northern end, where the party atmosphere and the loud music from the bars invite everybody to rave it up until the morning hours!
That aside, every sunset offers a unique spectacle, as the last rays of the descending star shower the islands of Paros, Naxos, and ancient Delos, creating a spectacular, heart-pleasing view. So, even if you are not here to relish the sandy shores and the crystalline waters, the road will get you at Paraga beach to treat yourself with fantastic, heart-filling sunset views for sure!
Must-Do Things Near Paraga
Do not leave this place before you visit Agia Anna and Paradise beaches. They both offer entirely different experiences, one being more relaxed and the other gratifying your need for beach excitement and partying along the shore. Besides, other popular options are Psarou and Platis Gialos beaches, each enticing its own special way (great for families too).
Sailing to the neighbouring islands of Delos, Naxos, Paros, and the other Cycladic gems is also an interesting option to consider as it will give you the opportunity to feel the unparalleled sense of freedom and the unique thrill of cutting the cobalt waters of the Mediterranean Sea with your catamaran or yacht.
Of course, the underwater world hides an extremely interesting and fascinating cosmos worth exploring, especially if you are into sea-related activities. From snorkelling and scuba diving to deep-sea diving, here you can have it all and create some memorable moments with your loved ones.
And, let’s not forget how close to the Chora or Mykonos Town (the capital and heart of the island) Paraga really is. This means that you can easily reach the vibrant part of the island and savour everything from spa treatments and fine dining to wild parties, calm strolls along the cobbled streets of the town, and amazing panoramas of the setting sun, to name just a few.
How to Get There
You can choose to either walk the winding road to the end of Platis Gialos beach for about 10-15 minutes or rent a small boat from Platis Gialos to take you there. However, many yacht owners cast anchor in the open sea and just dive in, escaping the crowds and busy beach.
Needless to say, you may as well rent the type of vehicle you fancy the most – many tourists prefer a Jeep or 4X4 to ride the rugged countryside – or have your private chauffeur get you from one place to another. As for the times you feel like laying eyes on things from above, you could consider using concierge services that will accommodate your every desire, including private helicopter rides for you and your friends or family.
One can hardly imagine a better location to rent a luxurious, chic, Cycladic-style villa than Paraga.
