Welcome to Gay Mykonos
 Mykonos has always been a popular destination for gay travellers ever since the island's glamorous jet set days of the 60's. It's never been cheap, but then its air of exclusivity, sophistication and magic would never have existed if it had been invaded by the package holiday Sangria crowds that most of us prefer to avoid!
The Greek island's reputation as a gay haunt goes back decades when the place offered a liberal respite from Britain's less than emancipated views of homosexuality in the 60's and 70's. Gay folks still flock to the tiny white paradise and, despite the influx of international pleasure seekers, it remains unspoilt and friendly.
The island of Mykonos is famous for its cosmopolitan atmosphere, its exciting nightlife, its picturesque Cycladic capital and its lively sandy beaches. You'll find some great beaches and bays, many of which are clothing optional. More...

The Gay Scene in Mykonos
 This is not Ibiza. There are no big gay venues and no all-night rave parties. Mykonos is a place for unwinding and relaxing. The scene is petite and stylish.
The island has six gay bars and clubs, which are concentrated in three locations near the old harbour front, where the small fishing boats are moored.
Despite Mykonos having become a euphemism for 'gay paradise', it's also popular with the straights. Thankfully they tend to be a more avuncular and sophisticated crowd than your average Chav from Dagenham.
The island has been used to the pink pound for decades, but the gay scene is not at all ghettoised and you'll probably feel just as comfortable in the many mixed bars as the more obvious gay ones. As the place isn't a main family hot spot you'll find that the straights are basically just like you; out for a good time, wanting to relax, have fun and do it all irrespective of sexuality.

The Gay Beaches in Mykonos
 There are three main beaches, each with gay and nude sections: Paradise, Super Paradise and Elia. Tucked into small coves and protected by rocky headlands, these crescent-shaped strips of sand are lined with trees and dotted with thatched sunshades. Small bars and restaurants overlook the turquoise-coloured sea. From early evening onwards, the bars turn up the volume and become open-air dance clubs, packed with partygoers nearly all night long.
Buses go direct from the town to Elia and Paradise, via narrow, winding roads over rocky hills. Super Paradise is accessible only by fishing boat (from either Paradise or Platys Yialos). Alternatively, you can hire a jeep from around £26 a day or a motor scooter from about £8.
For hyperactive party animals, an exhilarating alternative to the beach is Water Mania, a fabulous water theme park near Elia, with giant water slides, shutes and spirals - some up to 244 metres long. More...
Travel Around Gay Mykonos
Mykonos has a wonderfully rich and variegated past, a marvelous history, and an honored place in Greek mythology. There are always surprises to be found here!
The light of Apollo is evident everywhere on the island, and art, beauty, and form are all visible in the simplicity and eloquence of dazzling white structures and a centuries-old labyrinth of tiny streets and alleyways. The light is further enhanced by the reflection of aqua jewelled and crystal clean waters. All of this, combined with outstanding accommodation, a shopping paradise, excellent cuisine, and marvelous entertainment settings, proves again and again, that Mykonos is the quintessential island paradise of the Aegean Sea.

Unlike many resorts, Mykonos has retained an air of exclusivity that ups your status to A-list the moment you step off the plane. What's great about Mykonos is this exclusivity comes attitude free and once you're on this cosmopolitan island, the friendly atmosphere instantly relaxes even the weariest traveller and you know your holiday has begun.
As you stroll through the main town you'll see every pair of designer sunglasses available this season, but Mykonos has been home to pleasure seekers for many years and extravagance is all part of the charm. For those of you with money to burn, follow your fashion AtoZ: Mykonos has every label from Alexander McQueen to Yves St. Laurent and everything in between. While life on the island isn't cheap, sophistication rules without the feeling of superiority and breaking the bank isn't essential - just lots of fun. Chichi boutiques and galleries provide the perfect place for shopaholics but reasonably priced bars and cafes allow you to relax in style. It's easy to spend those Euros wisely while still soaking up the atmos, just ask our reps to point the way.
Mykonos Town is the gay hub and your time could easily be spent without ever leaving its confines. Row upon row of gleaming white-washed houses line its labyrinth of streets which are too narrow for cars but wide enough to wander. Stepping into these buildings reveals something of a time warp as the ancient and beautiful architecture deceptively shroud stunning interiors that are bang up to date. While the centre itself is no bigger than Soho, the wide variety of distractions make it hard to cross the same path twice, so enjoy meandering while soaking up the sun.
