Somewhere on the edge of the sea meeting the island, you will find Club Cavo Paradiso. It was opened in 1993 on a rock looking over Paradise Beach and comprises 3.000 square meters. Two bars located at two different levels, a lovely dance floor right on the deck and the place where famous DJs come…this is, in short, Club Cavo Paradiso.

Looking to experience real Greek music? Then don’t miss Plaisir and La Notte. Greek dancing and Rhembetika music can be enjoyed at the popular Mykonos Bar.

Other great bars include: Irish, Mercedes and Seven Sins. After a long night out, you can choose to drink a coffee at the coffee-bar Ibiza. Other nice places to party are Paradise Club (techno) and Space Dance.

Gay Friendly Island

Mykonos attracts people from any sexual minority and each summer, every place on the island tends to be a weird mix of straight and gay.

Known as a less pretentious gay version of St. Tropez, Mykonos is exclusive and glamorous but without any trace of snobbery. Straights are on their best behavior, while gays can be very relaxed about their sexual preferences. No one would take a second look at two men holding hands while walking along the narrow streets.

The gay scene in Mykonos is pretty stylish. In Taxi Square you will find three of the most well known gay clubs: Icaros, Manto and Pierro’s. Internationally famous, Piero’s has a fabulous upstairs dance bar with a lovely balcony which overlooks the street. Icaros has a lovely roof terrace, perfect for some romance under the stars, no matter what your sexual preferences are. At the other end of the harbor, near the blue-domed church, there is Porta Bar which looks and feels like a traditional English gay pub. Near the Paraportiani Church, there is Kastro’s, the perfect place to enjoy cocktails and beautiful sunsets.
