Book Mykonos Muse of Assouline

Description

Located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green water of the Aegean Sea, lies whitewashed and windmill-dotted Mykonos, the Island of the Winds. This ancient island and those that surround it, mythologized as the bodies of the gods slain by Hercules in ancient times, are older than legend and have hosted countless cultures for over millennia. With an area of ​​forty square miles and a population of just ten thousand, the “Ibiza of Greece” has become prized for its magnificent architecture, welcoming and open-minded residents, and fantastic beaches. With names such as 'Paradise' and 'Super Paradise', the sands of these shores have captured the imaginations and hearts of industry titans, artists and partygoers from around the world, marking it as a cosmopolitan destination stable and as a primordial haven on the jet-set circuit.

This book chronicles the culture and society that has defined Mykonos over the last century - from its days as a haunt for luminaries and elites such as Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, to its moment as a sanctuary for the gay community, to 'to its predominant party scene, while revealing to the reader the ruins and myths hidden there.
