The area:
Panormos, Mykonos:
Panormos has long been a well-kept secret. Located on the northern side of the island, it is a reasonably secluded beach away from hordes of tourists and commercial facilities typical of other beaches. Here you will find a calmer and less developed beach with crystal-clear waters ideal for relaxation. Luxury villas and a few upscale boutque hotels an inns dot the landscape adjacent to the beach.
You will need a car to get here as there is limited bus service from the old Port - but that helps keep the crowds away. At one end of the beach, you'll find a mix of beach-goers, including families. There are sunbeds and a bar at that end while nudists tend to frequent the other half of the beach.
