Located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green waters of the Aegean Sea, Mykonos, the island of winds, is covered in limestone and windmills. This ancient island and those around it, mythologized as the bodies of the gods slain by Hercules in antiquity, are older than legend and have been home to countless cultures for over a millennium. With an area of 40 km² and a population of just 10,000, the “Ibiza of Greece” has become highly sought after for its magnificent architecture, welcoming and open-minded people, and fantastic beaches. With names like “Paradise” and “Super Paradise,” the sands of these shores have captured the imagination and hearts of titans of industry, artists, and party-goers from around the world, making Ibiza a stable cosmopolitan destination and a premier haven on the jet-set circuit.
This book chronicles the culture and society that have defined Mykonos over the past century - from its days as a haunt of luminaries and elites such as Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, to its prevalent party scene, to its becoming a sanctuary for the gay community - while introducing the reader to the ruins and myths that lie within.
