Paradise Reef

Set in a south-facing bay on Mykonos's sheltered south coast, the reef is fully shadowed from the dominant summer Meltemi (N to NW) by the island's hills, giving the calm, current-light conditions that make it the island's standard training site. The open-water exposure is to the south (S/SSW/SSE) across the Aegean, so the only real swell arrives on rare Scirocco (S-SE) blows; the flanking headlands of the bay damp the E and W sectors. Summer surface conditions are typically flat.
