Two beach clubs. Same bay. Forty metres apart. Completely different universes. This guide compares sunbeds, prices, food and everything in between.
I've spent money at both. I've watched people make the wrong choice at both. Here's the unfiltered breakdown so you don't.
The Clash
Nammos is a production. Choreographed glamour, global clientele, a DJ who starts at 2 PM and doesn't apologise for it. The kind of place where the bill arrives and nobody looks at it — not because they're rich, but because looking would break the spell.
Cavo Psarou is a beach club run by people who actually love the beach. Family operation. Greek warmth. Zero theatre. The kind of place where the octopus is €26 and the waiter remembers your name on day two.
Neither is better. They serve completely different needs. The mistake is treating them as alternatives when they're actually complements.
The Numbers
| Sunbed Category | Nammos | Cavo Psarou |
|---|---|---|
| Standard sunbed set (2 beds + umbrella) | €80-220 | €65-90 |
| Front row sunbed set | €250-350 | — |
| Quad sunbed set | — | €110-160 |
| VIP Cabana | €350-750 | — |
| Champagne Bed | €1,500+ min spend | — |
| Minimum spend | €150-250/person (peak) | None |
That minimum spend line is where the real cost calculation begins. At Nammos, the sunbed price is often the smaller number.

cavopsaroumykonos.com →The Verdict
You want the full spectacle — DJ, crowd, celebrities. You have a reservation (without one, peak season is painful). You're celebrating something and the bill is the point. Or you've never been and need to see it once.
You want the beach, not the performance. You're coming with family or a group with different budgets. You want to actually eat well without a minimum spend on sunbeds. Or you're a repeat visitor who's already done Nammos.
The 20-Year Move
Morning Cavo (9:30-12:30), afternoon Nammos (13:00-17:00), sunset Cavo. You save €200-400 versus a full Nammos day and the result is genuinely better. That's the insider guide to Psarou sunbeds — do both, pay less, experience more.
