For so many gay men, Mykonos is Greece. At less than 100 square kilometres, this golden patch of sand, turquoise water and tolerance has been Greece’s calling card to the gay world.
Known for its gay friendly charm, Mykonos has flourished in recent years due to the impact of the XLSIOR week of parties held there every August (perfectly timed for a second holiday immediately after Barcelona’s Circuit Festival). This year, it ramped up the gayness even further by being sponsored by the hook-up app, Grindr. But it’s not all about the partying – Mykonos also provides an opportunity to recharge your batteries on the sundrenched beaches and pretty villages.
