Oh Mykonos...

For years I’ve heard about the beauty that is the Greek Islands, and have wanted to visit them forever, but when you find yourself constantly busy, and trying to be financially responsible, it’s hard to just pick up and go on a vacation.
However, this year I had made my first New Year’s resolution ever, and decided that I was going to travel more this year.
Thus, comes my two week adventure that all began in Mykonos, one of the most beautiful places you will ever see.
Mykonos is one of those fantastical places that you hear about, and when you arrive it becomes all the more beautiful. There is an island aesthetic that is white and blue, represented in the Greek Flag that is simply everywhere when one travels to Greece.
Fresh fish, beautiful beaches, and sun-kissed skin create the dreamlike atmosphere that is Mykonos.
Wether you are looking to chill on the beach and quietly read a book, make new friends and party the day away, or everything above, Mykonos has something for everyone. I get why year after year so many people flock to this far away land.
Lastly, a huge thank you to Dan and Dean of Dsquared for showing myself, and my new family the most amazing time. This crew of people made Mykonos all the more special, and I cannot wait to go back next year!
MUST DO:
Spilia Resturant – There is nothing more authentic then having to slightly hike to a cave to eat one of the freshest and most delicious meals you have ever had. There is a natural pool you can swim in, a DJ to get you dancing, and the nicest owners you have ever met.
Nammos Beach Club- This place starts out very loungey and mellow, but as the sun starts to go down, this place turns into a full on party. The beach and restaurant part are both gorgeous. Slightly more refined and a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it.
Jackie O’ Beach Club- Another spot that turns it up as the sun goes down. Great people watching, a pool to hangout in, and definitely skew way more gay than Nammos.
CAVO Paradise Night Club - I thought NYC was crazy when it came to nightlife, but Mykonos may take the cake on this one. This place doesn't even getting popping until 4AM, yes thats as in 4 in the morning. A long dinner and a nap are necessary before, but once you get in you realize why you are just starting your night/morning. Amazing DJ, huge venue and awesome dancing.
