Manoula's Beach, Mykonos

Advantages: sea,sun,sand,sailing!,and lots of sex...honest
Disadvantages: expensive, crowded

...well known and popular island and the people you see are from all walks of life, from every country, and sexual preference...even priests. Mykonos town in the 10 or more years since I spent my first teenage summer there, has changed dramatically with clubs, bars, boutiques, internationally known restaurants of various ethnic styles and so many visitors that a summer night in town is like "hell". Mykonos is not cheap. But if you are on vacation, with money to burn and willing to pull out all the stops the nightlife compares favorably to any major city or party town in the world. The discos stay open till dawn and there is no nicer place to nurse a slight hangover then in an umbrella shaded beach chair a few feet from the sea where one can slowly build up his strength to face the next evening's festivities. Mykonos is like Spain's Ibiza... Read review

Advantages: Variety! Beaches, food, people - Greece!
Disadvantages: Very hot. Remembering HOW to deal with loo paper

...After experiencing another UK Summer, I was inspired to head for Mykonos! I was somewhat intimidated since Mykonos has a reputation for being a young person's place. I flew EasyJet from Luton UK airport (my favourite airport) to Athens. It is a no-frills airline but even parking is simple (you can book it at the same time as you do your flight) and the airport is easy to get into and back out of! Then I transfered to Olympic for the flight to Mykonos. You can also take a ferry, instead, but it is about 5 or 6 hours on the ferry, versus less than an hour to fly there. And I wanted to hit the beach! A friend's daughter was working at a nearby resort, so she found me a place to stay and it was unique! It was a traditional Greek cube style cottage, which had been carved into a hillside, so the interior had not only a stone floor... Read review

Advantages: FUN FUN FUN
Disadvantages: How could there be?

...Where do I start? This is one of my favourite places in the world. Paradise Beach is a cool beach located on Mykonos. There are regular bus services from Mykonos town and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get there. You can also get a boat to the other beaches such as Super Paradise from here. Down at the beach there is accommodation at Paradise Beach Camping if you choose to stay there also. The beach is 80% covered with sun loungers and umbrellas (cool straw - but solid) ones so there is no problem finding somewhere to sit. They do cost of course, cant remember how much exactly but it was pretty much on par with most places. The beach itself as in terms of water etc is ok but nothing fantastic. Yes, the water is clear and lovely but there are a few rocks just as you enter the water that kind of get in the way.. As you... Read review
