WHAT THIS BOOK REALLY IS
Whitewashed alleys. Sunset cocktails. Beaches that never sleep.
Mykonos is one of the most famous islands in the world, but most visitors only see the surface.
Based on hundreds of reader reviews from travelers around the world:
This is not just a Mykonos travel guide.
It is not just a memoir.
It is not just a photo book.
It is the complete Mykonos file.
With one book, you get a practical Mykonos guide, a survival kit, a funny read, a visual album, a history lesson, an insider manual, and all written by someone who has lived the island for more than 35 years.
If you want to experience Mykonos beyond the clichés, this book will show you how.
Inside the book you will find:
• Practical Mykonos Survival Tips
Simple advice that saves your money, your time, and sometimes your dignity.
• The Top 10 Lists You Actually Need
Beaches. Restaurants. Bars. Clubs. Cultural spots. Instagram backdrops.
Updated regularly. Zero sponsorships. Zero nonsense.
• Cruise Stop Smart Plans
Realistic one-day itineraries for cruise visitors and short stays. Logical routes so you enjoy the island instead of rushing through it.
• A Visual Mykonos Album
Beautiful photos that capture the mood of the island and make you want to book the trip.
• Short Personal Stories from the Island
Funny, honest moments that show the real Mykonos. Self-irony, zero heroism, and understanding that if you cannot laugh at yourself in Mykonos, the island will do it for you.
• The History of Mykonos (Without the Boredom)
The short, readable history that explains how this island became what it is today, told with context, and just enough humor.
• The People of Mykonos
The tribes, characters, and archetypes you will meet and sometimes try to avoid after midnight.
• The Scandals
The stories that nobody wants to talk about. Because in Mykonos even the scandals come with good lighting, loud music, and someone insisting it “wasn’t like that at all.”
• The FAQ
The questions visitors ask every single summer, answered clearly and honestly.
• The Glossary
Greek words explained the way locals actually use them, not the way guidebooks pretend they do.
• What to Buy
Souvenirs actually worth bringing home, and the ones you will regret buying.
WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT
Because Mykonos is not just beaches and bars.
It is a circus, a paradox, and a beautiful trap.
Most travel guides sell you the postcard version.
This book gives you the honest one, told with humor, affection, and more than 35 years of living the island.
You get the beauty, the chaos, the characters, the tips, and the stories that explain why Mykonos fascinates people and drives them slightly crazy at the same time.
Read it if you are coming.
Read it if you have been.
Read it even if you are not going.
You will laugh.
You will recognise yourself.
And you will probably still want to go.
Because no matter how many scandals, tips, warnings, jokes, and stories are inside these pages,
Mykonos always wins.
HOW I wrote it
In airports. In hospital waiting rooms. In life’s in-between moments.
Because I needed to remember what makes life happy again.
And for me, that’s always been Mykonos — every single time, for 35 years.
This book gave me oxygen.
Now I’m giving it to you.
That feeling, that beauty, that freedom. And the wisdom.
