Platys Gialos beach in Mykonos Island |
|
 |
|
Situated at a distance of 4,5 klm far from Chora
at the South Platys Gialos is, following its greek name, a long and large
sandy beach with clear blue-green
cool water and a settlement with natural beauty. Arriving here, the visitor comes across a fascinating bay, well protected, separated to three smaller sandy beaches by little capes, low hills and rocks, which form the successive beaches of Psarou, Platys Gialos and Aghia Anna and discern them from the more remote beach of Paraga at the Cafe Cape. At the hill on the left of public road, at Portes, ruins of an ancient castle witness for the long history of the place. |

| Not only nature, but people have taken care so that
the settlement contributes to the harmony of the landscape. Despite the
intense touristic development, the settlement has preserved some of the
features of the old agricultural character it used to have: cultivation
extended on terraces climb the slopes of the hills, the characteristic
reed – beds at the small gorges, the gardens and trees discarded
here and there make an idyllic environment and give the promise of relaxation
and calm. Being one of the oldest and more developed beaches, Platys Gialos is well organized, offering good accommodation, several choices for food and amusement, sea sports and car and motorbike rental; it is suitable both for families and young tourists and very popular to all categories of visitors. |
