One of Mykonos' more distant beaches, Super Paradie is a short fat strand of very coarse sand in a picturesque bay, with a steady onshore breeze and slightly rough water. It's quite a way from the main town and requires personal transport or there's a bumpy boat ride from the main town. There are a couple of very pleasant bars/tavernas servicing the area.
The beach is frequented mainly by young, fit travellers, many of them gay. Package people are not in evidence!
Mykonos interior is unusually attractive with well built dry stone walls surrounding many properties, and houses plastered into melting organic shapes reminiscent of North Yemen. Locals seem to take a pride in the appearance of their housing [picture] that is not in evidence on other Greece islands. Or perhaps it's just that they can afford it, having been coining it for a lot longer than others?
