Family trip to Mykonos City with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Small paradise Mykonos in Greece is a wonderful place for vacation and a bohemian resort. You should travel there with children to show them Mykonos and instill a sense of beauty since their childhood. Besides natural attractions, there are a lot of remarkable manmade places on the island. Most of them were created in ancient times.

Actually, the most interesting attractions on the island are beaches. Here, everyone can find a beach to his liking. However, you should remember that there are a lot of nudist beaches on the island. The most famous beaches are Paradise and Super Paradise that are located in the south of the island. Remarkably, the famous night club Cavo Paradiso where the best techno parties are held is located exactly here. It attracts a lot of teenagers.

Anyway, the south coast is famous for its wonderful beaches because it is more sheltered from the wind. If you travel with children and prefer active pastime, you should visit the Platis Gialos Beach (Πλατύς Γιαλός). Divers gather on the Psarrou Beach (Ψαρρού) that is famous for its clean water. In the south, there is the Agrari Beach. It is a calm and peaceful place where you can swim and sunbathe without being bothered by other people. Near it, there is the Elia Beach with a water park.
