About this audio guide
This guide to Paralia Super Paradise on Mykonos starts with the beat carrying off the sand right now, a sound this cove has been making in one form or another since nineteen seventy-one. It follows the handful of freedom-loving hippies who drifted off the ferry with no plan to leave and named this rocky, scrub-covered bay east of Paradise beach half as a joke, and traces how a hideaway where anything went, reached only by a winding dirt track, drew tycoons and fashion designers chasing the same rumor. You'll hear how the crowd that once made this the island's gay beach has largely shifted east to Elia. Come around four in the afternoon to feel the moment the volume climbs.
