✓ Manually calibrated shoreline

The orientation of the shore and the shelter of the bay were checked one by one on the map for every beach — they are not derived automatically.

Paraga is located in southern Mykonos, sheltered from the meltemi wind. Its sandy beach hosts well-known beach clubs operating right by the waves. The sea is calm and the waters clear, ideal for swimming. Access is either by car or by water taxi from Chora.

Wind & waves: when to go

The beach faces south. With northerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.

🌅 Sunset over the sea: November–January

The shore faces south (180°), so from November to January the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.

An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
