Luxury Villas in Psarou, Mykonos
Sea-view villas above the calmest, most fashionable bay on the south coast of Mykonos
As featured in
A sheltered bay where Mykonos comes to lunch
Psarou is a small, deep bay on the south coast of Mykonos, around 4 to 5 kilometres from Chora and closer still to the airport. Hills close in on both sides and keep out the worst of the meltemi, the strong north wind of high summer. That leaves the water shallow, calm and very clear. Yachts anchor just offshore, and a long lunch at Nammos has been part of the Mykonos summer for years.
We have 36 villas in and around Psarou. They range from two-bedroom houses for couples to estates of 12 bedrooms for big family parties, and most have pools and sea views, many with infinity edges. Some sit on the slopes above the bay. Others are a short drive away, near Agios Ioannis, Agia Anna and Kalafati.
Below you will find the bay itself, the south coast by boat, the island beyond and the best months to come.

Psarou and neighbouring Platis Gialos for the beach and the south coast water taxis, Agios Ioannis for sunsets, Elia for a longer, quieter beach, and Kalafati for wind and space on the east coast.
Pale sand, still water and a famous beach club
Psarou is a short crescent of fine sand, and it is sheltered enough that a breezy day elsewhere on the island is often a calm one here. The shallow water makes it easy for young children, and divers and snorkellers like it for its clarity.
Nammos takes up much of the beach, and its sunbeds need booking well ahead in July and August. Greek beaches are public, though, so there is free sand between the clubs too. Platis Gialos is about ten minutes' walk around the headland. It has tavernas, small shops, the nearest bus stop and the water taxis that work their way along the coast.

Beach-hopping by water taxi
The best way to see the south coast is from the sea. In summer, small boats leave Platis Gialos for Paraga, Agrari and Elia, among others. Each beach has its own character, from the lively clubs at Paraga to the long, easy sweep of Elia, where the beach clubs sit further apart.
To the west, past Ornos, Agios Ioannis faces the setting sun and has a gentler, more family-minded feel. For a day of your own, our concierge can charter a boat from a nearby harbour, with a stop at a cove that cannot be reached by road.

Windmills, Little Venice and a sacred island
Chora is about ten minutes away by car. Go late in the afternoon, when the whitewashed lanes cool down. Walk past the church of Panagia Paraportiani to Little Venice, where balconies hang over the water, and watch the sun go down behind the windmills of Kato Mili.
Boats from the old harbour reach Delos in around half an hour. In Greek myth it was the birthplace of Apollo, and today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its ruins, mosaics and the Terrace of the Lions make a fine morning out. Go early, before the heat.

Kopanisti, grilled fish and the summer wind
Mykonos has a small but proud island kitchen. Try kopanisti, a sharp, peppery soft cheese, and louza, the island's cured pork. Amygdalota, little almond sweets, are worth carrying home. On the south coast, lunch usually means grilled fish chosen from the ice and a carafe of something cold and white.
The season runs from May to October. June and September are the sweet spots, with a warm sea and far fewer people. July and August bring the island's busiest weeks, and the meltemi at its strongest, which is when a sheltered bay like Psarou matters most. Our concierge can book beach club sunbeds, restaurant tables, boat charters and transfers.

The right house, not the nearest one
Our Psarou villas run from the slopes above the bay to quieter hillsides further along the coast, and we know which are a walk from the sand, which catch the sunset and which stay sheltered when the meltemi blows. With 36 properties in Psarou, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Beach club sunbeds at Psarou, restaurant tables in Chora, boat charters along the south coast, trips to Delos, car hire and transfers from the airport or port. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
