Mykonos has changed drastically from the days when it welcomed the first hippies and jet setters who came to explore its pristine beaches and bask in its unique light. Yet while today for many it is synonymous with luxury and free-flowing champagne, the island has retained the simplicity and easy-going hospitality that first made it famous. You can certainly enjoy gazing at the Aegean from an Instagram-friendly infinity pool, but beyond the clubs and glamorous nightlife beats the same Cycladic heart.

In this 148-page issue, you'll read about the best high-end restaurants, jewelry shops, fashion boutiques and nightclubs, but also about the traditional products and delicacies still produced by local artisans. Explore the heart and soul of Mykonos through the voices of longtime insiders, and via a tour of the remarkable archaeological site of Delos. And after wandering through the charming maze of Hora, see the wilder side of the island by taking a cycling or sea-kayaking tour, or kitesurfing in the bay of Korfos.
