Introduction
A few weeks ago, a few friends and me spent a week on the Greek island of Mykonos, a small island lying around 100 miles east of Athens in the Aegean Sea. On the one hand, the little Cycladic island is prejudiced as a island for the gay people, on the other hand it is said to be really expensive and a place for people to show off their wealth. But are those preconceptions true? We will find out! Welcome to ...
The island
As already statet in the introduction, Mykonos is a rather little island with a size of around 85 square cilometres and not even 12,500 people living there. Most of those exist in Mykonos Town (or Chora), the main village located in the west of the island. Most of the famous sights and most interesting places to go out are located there as successfully, so this city will get a lot of the attention of this post. For example the "Kato Milli", the legendary windmills that make up for the landmark of the island, are there as well.

Gay Mykonos Guide
Mykonos is one of the world's foremost gay destinations. The toned and tanned guys flock to the clothing-optional beaches during the day, and put on their most stylish fashions for the bars at night. Beautiful much everywhere you leave is gay-friendly, and even at the mostly-gay spots you find a mix of gay and unbent enjoying the warm nights.
You'll find that locals are generally welcoming and open-minded. It all started when Jackie Onassis visited in the 1970s, turning the island into a chic and cosmopolitan destination. Greece was, and still is, a conservative orthodox Christian country, but “pink money” was welcomed, giving rise to gay-friendly (and gay-owned) hotels, bars and restaurants. There was a time when Mykonos seemed like one big queer island, and although the straight crowds have now joined in on the fun and are once again the majority, LGBT visitors still make up a large percentage of the people you look on the streets and at the beaches.
You’ll find many welcoming bars in the center of Mykonos Town, especially around “Little Venice.” Just stroll around the maze of narrow streets and you’ll find a spot for you. Some places exhibit the rainbow flag
Attheend of the holiday season, the Mykonos summer struggles pointlessly against an approaching winter that will banish not only the light but the foreign intruders. The winter says it's time for us to go and give the island back to its rightful owners.
Mykonos oozes charm, with its whitewashed buildings and colorful shutters, turquoise-domed churches, brightly colored flowers on sills and picturesque boutiques lining cobble-stoned pathways. Nude beaches beckon, and your reluctance and innate shyness vanish as you shed your clothes and bathe naked in the sunshine, playing in the gorgeous, translucent blue-green ocean.
Skinny cats meow and scuttle in and out of every corner, grateful for a crumb of food from a tourist's table.
Feeling a petite lonely and uncertain on my first night, I went to one of the bars, and a ruggedly handsome, 6-foot-6 South African man with a twinkle in his eye tapped me on the shoulder. We fell into jovial chatter, which became a profound and moving conversation. I had recently lost a friend and was heartbroken, but hearing David's story was humbling. David had owned a ranch in South Africa and had experienced unspeakable tragedy during the pol
