Gold and Sapphire – Experience Platis Gialos
Azure waters, softly “licking” the silver sandbars of high profile beach bars. White-washed sugar-cube houses, glistening under the scorching greek sun. Lush gardens blossoming within town squares bustling with laughter and mirth: Platis Gialos in Mykonos translates to “Wide Beachfront”, a name it truly exemplifies. “Hugging” the great Aegean from the South part of the island, Platis Gialos lies just below the Mykonos airport, warranting a 10 minute drive to reach. “Courted” by Paradise and Paraga beach to its right, Platis Gialos offers the complete package of summertime Greece, condensing everything inside its microcosm of comfort and luxury.
Reside by the sea: The cozy hotels of Platis Gialos
You will encounter Villa Nireas to the north of Platis Gialos, sitting atop a verdant hilltop and overlooking the beach. Packed to the brim with modern amenities and festooned with opulent designs, this is a high profile resort for sure. On the other hand, Argo Hotel is a bit more grounded, offering a more direct seaside view and access to a beach bar. However, we couldn’t mention Platis Gialos without the name Petinos Hotel and Petinos Beach Hotel popping out, as those two resorts flank the beachside and provide guests with a novel island experience.
