Live the Dream at mykonos
With mega-yachts moored in its harbour, magnums of cham-
pagne consumed on its beaches and bars, and roll-call of
famous names invading it like an army, Mykonos is the undis-
puted queen of hip summer fun. Read on for some insiders’
tips on how to experience it all.
Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, Jackie Kennedy, Sophia Lo-
ren, Brigitte Bardot, Grace Kelly, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris
Hilton, Gerard Butler, Adriana Lima…
Mykonos is no doubt a paparazzi’s paradise. For ever
since the ’60s, when the aforementioned Greek shipping
tycoon rocked up on his mega-yacht along with his opera
diva, everybody who’s anybody has holidayed at least once
in the notorious island of winds.
In fact, in recent years Mykonos has even supplanted
28
Ibiza as the selected playground for celebrities, jetsetters
and clubbers alike.
Come the season’s opening at mid May and the world’s
enfant gâté rejoice. For this means they now have ample
opportunities to socialize –and flirt– with kindred spirits,
amuse their palates with haute gastronomic creations –
and the finest bubbly– and dance their nights away at the
world’s hottest, most exclusive bars and clubs.
