Nightlife in Mykonos
Paradise and Super Paradise after dark
Two bays on the south coast, 5.5 and 7 km from Chora, where Mykonos keeps its beach-club culture. Their parties begin in the afternoon and, at Paradise, carry on until 07:00 in the club on the cliff above the sand. None of these nights is sold on this website; this is the lie of the land.
Paradise: from the afternoon into the night
The municipality describes Paradise as the beach whose venues keep the party going from midday to the early hours. Paradise Beach Club, founded in 1969, opens from April to October; its parties start at 16:00 by day and again at 22:00 at night, entry to the main area is free, and tables or booths are booked separately.
Tropicana, on the same beach, is open from 10:00; by 16:30 its daily party takes over, and it runs until 01:00, with resident DJs on the days without a special event.
Cavo Paradiso, on the cliff
On the hill at the left end of Paradise beach, Cavo Paradiso has been a late-night club since 1993. It opens at 23:00 and plays until 07:00, with the headliners usually starting around 01:45. Entry is strictly 18+ with a valid ID or passport, and swimwear and flip-flops stay at the hotel (Birkenstocks are fine). Its 2026 season ran from the opening night on Saturday 9 May to the closing night on Saturday 26 September.
Super Paradise: house music until the sun goes down
Super Paradise Beach Club opens every day from 10:00 to 22:00, and on Sundays the celebration carries on until 01:00. The party starts at 17:00 with Celestial Bodies, a dance performance that draws the crowd in, then house music takes over. There is no general entrance fee, though sunbeds come with a minimum spend or rental. The bay is sheltered from the meltemi, so evenings there stay calm when the rest of the island is windy.
Getting there and back
For Paradise, buses leave from Fabrika (Agios Loukas Square) and caiques from Platys Gialos. The municipality says that in high season KTEL serves the busiest routes until 4:00; on the winter timetable valid from 19 October 2026 the last bus from Fabrika is at 21:15 and the last one back at 21:30. Cavo Paradiso arranges return transfers at its reception if you ask at least an hour before, and taxis to Paradise leave from Taxi Square in town.
Super Paradise is reached by car, by the club's own shuttle or a local bus from Fabrika, or by water taxi or caique from Platys Gialos.

List of clubs in Mykonos: hours, entry and door rules from their own websites
This list has no ranking, stars or favourites. It sets out, in alphabetical order, what nine venues in Mykonos publish on their own websites about hours, entry and the door, and it says so when a club publishes nothing. We read them on 5 November 2026, out of season, so check them again before you travel.
Arrivals & transport
Mykonos taxi prices and buses: the official fares and timetables
On Mykonos the taxi is metered, the buses follow the season, and between them they cover every night out. This is the full official tariff, where to find a taxi in Chora, and what the KTEL buses run in winter and in summer, taken from the national decree, the municipality and KTEL itself.
After dark
Mykonos after dark since 1969
The island's nights did not appear all at once. Each of the venues still running today dates its own beginning, and laid end to end those dates show how the nights of Chora, the town around the harbour of Gialos, grew, venue by venue.

Mykonos Town
Chora is a maze of whitewashed lanes on the island's west side, and its night happens on foot: the sunset over Little Venice, a drink on Matogianni, then a club door somewhere between the old harbour and Kastro.
