The Psarou Expert FAQ – 17 technical answers from a 20-year veteran.
1. How much does a front row sunbed at Nammos cost in peak season 2026?
Front row double set (2 beds + umbrella) in July-August: €250-350. That's often just half the daily cost – plus minimum spend €150-250 per person on food and drinks. Champagne bed: €1,500-3,000+ minimum spend, reservation 6 weeks in advance mandatory. Without a reservation in peak season – you're in row 5.
2. What is the minimum spend at Nammos restaurant in 2026?
Peak season (July-August): €150-250 per person at premium tables or beds. On DJ days and weekends, bottle service is practically mandatory – people pay €800-1,200 for lunch for two and pretend it's normal. Because at Nammos, it is normal.
3. Cavo Psarou – how much for sunbeds in 2026?
Double set (2 beds + umbrella): €65-90. Quad set: €110-160. Minimum spend: none. Octopus: €26-32. Lobster pasta: €95-110. Fresh catch: €90-150/kg. Entry-level rosé: €40-60/bottle. You can arrive at 9:30, no reservation, eat well, drink well, and leave having spent €200 for two. At Psarou.
4. How much is the helicopter from Athens (ATH) to Psarou in 2026?
One way, 6 passengers (Bell 429 / AW109): €4,200 in May-June and September. July-August: €3,800-5,200. Flight time: ~35 minutes. Santorini → Psarou: €2,800. Same-day return = ×2. Book through Nammos or operators (Mykonos Helicopters / Magna / Aegean VIP) – no call, no landing.
5. How much is a private V-Class transfer from JMK airport to Psarou in 2026?
Mercedes V-Class / minivan (4-7 pax): €70-110. Premium (S-Class / Range Rover): €95-150. From Tourlos / New Port: +€10-25. Full-day driver (8-10h): €450-800. Drive time: 10-15 min off-peak. July-August: 20-40 min. Book before you land.
6. What are the real prices at Nammos bar – bill for 2 people?
Espresso: €6. Greek salad: €18-26. Grilled octopus: €85. Fish fillet: €80-100. Entry-level rosé: €180-350/bottle. Lunch without extravagance for two: €350-600. With champagne and lobster: €900-1,800. Nobody looks at the bill. They look at their neighbor.
7. Where exactly is the Nammos helipad and can I land there?
Private Nammos Village helipad, directly behind the building: 37.408°N, 25.350°E, 50-70m from the shoreline. Only with reservation – through Nammos or certified operators. Treat it like a VIP gate: no call = no landing. After landing: 30-second walk, champagne bed. Looks like a film. Costs like a small car.
8. How far is Psarou from the airport and how long is the drive?
Distance: 3.8 km (straight line), 4-6 km by road. Time: 10-15 min off-peak. July-August: 20-40 min (traffic + influencers on crosswalks). Distances from other points: Chora 4.2 km, Tourlos port 5.1 km, New Port 6.3 km.
9. What are the rules for yacht anchoring in Psarou Bay in 2026?
Depth: 8-25 m. Max practical LOA: 110-120 m. Scope: 5-7:1. Min. distance from shore: 50-70 m (Port Police enforced). Anchoring fees: none (private bay). No buoys for Nammos/Cavo guests – you anchor on your own hook. Peak capacity: 25-35 yachts simultaneously, 50+ tender shuttles/day. Get too close – you'll hear about it on the loudhailer. Personally tested.
10. Can you charter a yacht and sail to Psarou?
Yes. Day charter prices 2026: 30m motor yacht: €18,000-22,000/day + fuel/VAT. Sunseeker 88: €9,500-13,000/day. Best entry before 11:00 AM – after that the bay looks like Monaco during Grand Prix weekend. Tender to Nammos or Cavo, same water as from shore.
11. Does the Meltemi wind destroy Psarou in July-August?
Almost never. The bay creates 95-99% wind shadow thanks to the headland geometry (~15m) from the east. The north side of the island (Kalafatis, Ftelia) gets 35-45 knots – Psarou stays like glass. That's why the yachts are here. That's why it's so expensive.
12. When is Psarou least crowded in 2026?
Best windows: May 15-30 – quiet, normal prices, water cool. June 1-15 – building up, still accessible. September 10-25 – sweet spot: warmer water than June, crowds half of August, yachts still here. This is the insider move.
13. Can you access Psarou for free?
Yes. Left side of the beach – 80-120m of public sand, zero Nammos/Cavo beds. Same water. Same yacht view. Bring your own umbrella and quick-dry towel. It's a legitimate move, not a compromise.
14. What's the cheapest way to do Nammos + Cavo in one day?
The Pro Move: 9:30 Cavo, double set €65-90, zero minimum, octopus, Greek coffee. 12:30-13:00 move to Nammos (40 meters), premium bed, minimum spend. 17:00 back to Cavo for sunset. Savings: €200-400 vs full Nammos day. Day quality: better. That's the 20-year move.
15. Do billionaires actually cry over the bill at Nammos?
Myth that they cry – they don't. Their assistants do when they see €4,800 for an afternoon. Billionaires look at it like coffee. But I've seen yacht crew have heart attacks at the cash register after tender service + champagne. That's Psarou in 2026 – beauty, chaos, and a wallet bleeding with class.
16. When and how to book at Nammos?
Front row / VIP cabana in July-August: 6+ weeks in advance. Champagne bed peak season: 2-3 months in advance. Standard bed: 2-3 weeks. No reservation: possible in rows 3-5, availability random. Book through: nammos.com/mykonos or directly by phone. Helipad and VIP transfer – through hotel concierge or dedicated operators.
