Located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green waters of the Aegean Sea, Mykonos, the island of the winds, is covered in limestone and windmills. This ancient island and those surrounding it, mythologized as the bodies of gods struck down 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 such as "Paradise" and "Super Paradise," the sands of these shores have captured the imagination and hearts of titans of industry, artists, and partygoers from around the world, establishing Ibiza as a stable cosmopolitan destination and a top 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 haven for luminaries and elites such as Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, to its preeminent party scene, to its becoming a sanctuary for the gay community—while introducing the reader to the ruins and myths hidden within.
