Heading from Greece over to Mykonos, you’ll immediately notice the blue waters and the golden sandy beaches as you travel.  While all of the beaches on the island are gay friendly, there is one particular beach that is especially popular with gay guys and girls.  It’s called Super Paradise, and it’s located next to the popular Paradise beach.  Super Paradise is a little difficult to reach by vehicle, but you can get there via taxi-boat.  There’s also a bus stop that is nearby. 

Super Paradise is a clothing optional beach, so you may not want to take your young children there.  However, this popular beach becomes a happening nightclub once the sun goes down.  The music starts early in the day, and by sunset, people are dancing around the pool and at the bar.  Sexuality dominates this dance, of course, but that doesn’t mean everyone is just looking for sex.  People are here to have a good time, and if you do meet someone, so much the better.

Another popular gay beach is Elia.  This golden beach is almost exclusively a nudist beach, but it’s usually less crowded than Super Paradise.  It doesn’t have the big nightly dance parties like Super Paradise, but it is a very nice beach for resting and relaxing.  It’s the last stop for many of the water taxis out of Platis Gialos.  There’s a bar located at Elia, and the waiters will bring your drinks right out to your deckchair.  Many visitors to Elia rank it as one of the best beaches anywhere, especially if you want a calmer, less crowded beach.  On the downside, Elia does tend to be a little more expensive in regards to drinks, renting things, etc.

If you’re looking for some hotels that are gay friendly or won’t think twice about a man reserving a room with another man and only one bed, you’ll find a few gay exclusive hotels. 

Of course, shopping is an activity many gay tourists like to engage in.  There are a number of different shopping areas in Mykonos.  You’ll find everything from expensive department stores to traditional little art galleries.  It all depends on what you want to buy.  You can stop by Luisa Beach for some shopping, then get a massage or a manicure/pedicure.  Over at Delos Dolphins, you’ll find great jewelry that is based on some of the pieces displayed in several Mykonos museums.  If you’re looking for something for your home, Seaside Creative Furniture is a great place to buy homemade furniture, ceramics, and pieces of art.  The smaller, locally run art galleries and little stores are also great places to find locally created souvenirs.  The prices are usually less than you’d find at the more commercial places, and you know you’re getting an authentic Mykonos souvenir.
 

As far as nightlife goes, Mykonos has several bars that serve the gay community. 

If you don’t want to have someone pressing their body against yours on the loud, dark dance floor, you might enjoy Porta Bar a bit more than the dancing at Pierro’s.  Porta is almost a little hole in the wall, and it’s located off of a backstreet that’s not that easy to find.  However, once you make your way to this great bar, you’re sure to enjoy yourself.  Many different types of people hang out at Porta—it’s not an exclusive gay bar, but it is an incredibly fun place to spend the evening.

Of course, there are many other bars and clubs on Mykonos that are a lot of fun to visit.  While they may not cater exclusively to the gay community, you can still have a lot of fun at them.  As mentioned above, Mykonos is a very open society where no one will make you uncomfortable because of your sexuality, and gay and lesbian couples are accepted just about anywhere on the island.

No matter what you’ve come to Mykonos to do—surf, relax on the beach, shop, or enjoy the nightlife—you’ll find a great gay community that is ready to welcome you and your partner with open arms.  Enjoy a great vacation on Mykonos!
