MYKONOS MUSE

Assouline

Description

Located in the Cyclades group and surrounded by the blue-green waters of the Aegean Sea, Mykonos – the island of the winds – captivates with its whitewashed houses and windmills. This ancient island and its surrounding islets, mythologized as the bodies of the gods brought down by Hercules in ancient times, are older than legend and have hosted countless cultures over the millennia. With an area of forty square miles and a population of just ten thousand, the “Ibiza of Greece” has become renowned for its beautiful architecture, hospitable and open locals and fantastic beaches. Beaches with names like “Paradise” and “Super Paradise” have captured the imagination and hearts of industrialists, artists and party lovers from all over the world, making the island a permanent metropolitan destination and the ultimate paradise on the route of the world’s jet set.

This coffee table travelogue chronicles the culture and society that shaped Mykonos over the past century – from its time as a hideaway for world luminaries and elites like Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, to its period as a haven for the LGBT+ community, to its thriving entertainment scene – while revealing to the reader the ruins and mythical stories hidden on the island.
