Paralia Agrari is a south-coast beach on Mykonos, between Elia and the island’s busier party beaches. Its clear turquoise water and more relaxed feel make it a good place to swim or spend a quieter stretch of the day. Sunbeds and umbrellas take up one side, while the public beach has room for your own towel. A beach bar and taverna serve food and drinks. The shore is pebbly underfoot, and the approach includes a steep section.
A quieter stretch of Mykonos’s south coast
Agrari sits between Elia and the busier beaches on Mykonos’s southern shore. Its more low-key atmosphere is a draw for people who want time by the water without the party-club scene. The beach has a sunbed-and-umbrella area as well as public space where you can lay out a towel.
A beach bar and taverna provide food and drinks. The shore is made up of coarse sand and tiny pebbles, so the surface may feel rough underfoot. Wind can pick up, and swimming conditions can change; check the flags and sea before getting in.
Getting down to the beach
The approach is steep, with an uphill walk on the way back. Drivers have reported roadside parking, but take care on the narrow parts of the route. For a car-free trip, buses toward Elia leave a walk of roughly 5 to 15 minutes to Agrari. Sea taxis and caiques also serve southern beaches from Ornos or Platis Gialos, with services varying by season and weather.
At the beach’s left end, a small, intimate cove is used for clothing-optional sunbathing. Keep the setting in mind when choosing where to settle.
