Gay Mykonos
Mykonos has reached iconic status as a LGBT destination. It is the place to go gay in the Mediterranean, with gay travelers flocking from all corners of the earth to shake loose and let go in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
The island of Mykonos is a part of the Cyclades chain, smack dab in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Despite development to cater to international tourists, the island has retained its Cycladian charm. The cosmopolitan Mykonos Town still has whitewashed walls that create a labyrinth of narrow alleys, with colorful paint accenting each building.
The Island of the Winds offers an ever-changing feast of options, with the days centered on exploring the island’s many beaches and nights full of dancing and drinking, interrupted only by the sunrise. The climate provides virtually year-round sun, and to avoid the bottlenecks in price and space of July and August, opt for May, June or September for your visit.
Transportation options include renting a jeep or car to more fully explore the island, or opt for a small scooter or ATV. Another option is simply jumping on one of Plati Yalos’s boats that ferry people to the southern beaches in a fun and convenient manner. Don’t count on taxis, however: There are only 30 on the entire island, so the wait is far longer than the ride!
