It may have an area of only 40 miles, but few gay getways loom as large as the Greek island of Mykonos.
And for eight days (and seven nights), from August 20 to August 27, Mykonos is front and center: Steele Luxury Travel has partnered with the premier villa provider on the island to create the Mykonos Island Villa Escape, an exclusive Steele Luxury Travel Travel Experience for a select few across one of the most celebrated landscapes on Earth. Zeus, King of Olympus, fought for his rule here against the Titans, the sun god Apollo so well-regarded the isle he named it after his grandson Mykonos, and mere mortals set up shop here since at least the 11th century BC. Its time to find out what all the fuss is about.
Under a golden Mediterranean sun and washed by serene ocean breezes, you find out fast. With its titanium-white houses, wine-dark waves, and elegant windmills, Mykonos, for all its well-known tourist luster, still remains true to its proud Greek roots. As they always done, tavernas serve local wine and are filled with nightlife that goes well into the wee hours—Greeks are notorious party people—and the four Mykonos Town museums highlight the island’s ancient past. Greek history is inseparable from the Greek present, and archeological sites dating back to Achilles and Agamemnon dot the isle. For true Greek buffs, cast your eyes to the west and the islet of Delos, legendary birthplace of Apollo, whose exploits with his male admirers still have yet to be topped.
No pun intended.
For Steele travelers, it all starts in Mykonos Town, “Chora Mykonou” to the natives, and your very own villa, which is made up of three traditional Mykonian homes offering unmatched Hellenic hospitality, complete with a personal chef preparing daily breakfast, daily maid service, a 24-hour concierge at your service, and a genuine houseboy at your beck and. Roundtrip airport transfers to Mykonos are included in your package, as are a luxury yacht party cruise around the island two catered sit-down dinners, one in your villa, the other at Mykonos’s famed Belvedere Hotel. Steele Travelers will also receive a pass to the week’s gay parties and events produced by XLSIOR!
