Description: Nestled in the Cyclades and surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, Mykonos — known as the “Island of the Winds” — is famous for its whitewashed houses and iconic windmills. With a history stretching back to ancient times, the island is steeped in legend, once said to be formed from the bodies of giants slain by Hercules.

At just 40 km² with a population of about 10,000, Mykonos has become the “Ibiza of Greece,” cherished for its stunning architecture, welcoming and open-minded locals, and world-renowned beaches. With shorelines named “Paradise” and “Super Paradise,” this cosmopolitan haven has captivated industry titans, artists, and partygoers alike, securing its place as one of the top destinations for the international jet set.

Mykonos Muse chronicles the culture and society that have defined the island over the last century — from the days when it was a retreat for luminaries like Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, to its emergence as a sanctuary for the LGBTQ+ community, and ultimately as a hub for vibrant nightlife and global tourism. Featuring over 200 illustrations, this Assouline volume is both a visual celebration and a cultural exploration of one of the world’s most mythical islands.
