The Mykonos Muse coffee table book chronicles the culture, society, and history that have defined the Greek island of Mykonos over the past century. It covers the island's evolution from a retreat for luminaries such as Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, through its role as a sanctuary for the gay community, to its renowned party scene. The book weaves together architectural imagery, beach landscapes, and mythological context, while exploring the ruins and stories embedded across the island's forty square miles. Its narrative spans more than a millennium of cultural influence, documenting the cosmopolitan identity that has drawn artists, industry figures, and travellers from around the world.
Located in the Cyclades and surrounded by the blue-green water of the Aegean sits whitewashed, windmill-strewn Mykonos, the island of the winds. This ancient island and those surrounding it, mythologized as the bodies of gods felled by Hercules in the time of antiquity, are older than legend and have played host to countless cultures for more than millennia. At forty-square-miles and boasting a population of only ten-thousand, the ‘Ibiza of Greece' has become prized for gorgeous architecture, welcoming and open-minded locals, and fantastic beaches. With such names as ‘Paradise' and ‘Super Paradise,' the sands of these shores have captured the imaginations and hearts of industry titans, artists, and party-goers alike from all around the globe, marking it as a stable cosmopolitan destination and as a paramount it haven on the jet-set circuit. This travel coffee table book chronicles the culture and society that has defined Mykonos over the past century-from its days as a hideout for such luminaries and elites as Le Corbusier and Antonis Benakis, to its moment as a sanctuary for the gay community,to its predominant party scene-all the while indulging the reader with the ruins and myths hidden there.
