Paraga beach & Psarou beach | Mykonos island

Paraga beach is located on the east side of the island. In a distance you can see Paros, Naxos and Delos. This beach was a favorite choice of the hippie generation, as the "clothing question" was totally optional! Paraga beach has beautiful golden sand and usually some small sea waves playing in the wind along with the bamboo umbrellas. That slightly rebellious and carefree atmosphere helps me to completely understand why the "flower children" opted for this beach!:)

Psarou beach might be a favorite choice of jet-setters, and often small yachts can be seen anchored in the bay. Some of the finest clubs, bars and restaurants are located here. The beach has a nice soft sand and very calm water with almost no waves which is great for diving. Psarou is not a "party beach"- the sophisticated atmosphere is respected almost as a religion. Music is never loud, here you enjoy the quiet and subtle melodies...

Paraga plaza je locirana na istocnoj strani ostrva. U daljini se mogu videti Paros, Naksos i Delos. Ova plaza je bila omiljeni izbor hipi generacije jer je "pitanje odece" bilo potpuno opcionalno! Paraga ima predivan zlatni pesak i obicno male morske talase koji se igraju na vetru zajedno sa suncobranima od trske. Zbog ove pomalo buntovnicke i opustene atmosfere mi je jasno zasto su se "deca cveca" najradije odlucivala za ovu plazu!:)

Psarou plaza bi mogla biti omiljeni izbor dzet-seta, i cesto se male jahte mogu videti usidrene u zalivu. Neki od najfinijih klubova, barova i restorana su locirani ovde. Plaza ima lep mekan pesak a voda je veoma mirna sa vrlo malo vidljivih talasa sto je odlicno za ljubitelje ronjenja. Psarou nije "plaza za zurke"- sofisticirana atmosfera se postuje skoro kao religija. Muzika nikada nije glasna, vec se uziva u tihim i nenametljivim melodijama...
