South Aegean

A Greek pool has been included amongst the world’s coolest plunge pools. The list compiled by Travel + Leisure includes a Greek suggestion, specifically Cavo Tagoo on Mykonos. The magazine writes:

A 65-year-old woman was arrested on the southeast Aegean island of Kalymnos on Friday, charged with possession of a large cache of illegal antiquities.

Proto Thema’s camera lens “captured” a carefree Katy Perry on the jet-setting holiday island of Mykonos this week.

With 71 million Twitter followers, tourism professionals on the Cyclades “party isle” hope that Katy will Tweet at least one pic from her Grecian vacation on the island.

Made in Chelsea star Kimberly Garner also preferred Mykonos… she sizzled in the sea while going topless.

Model Bar Rafaeli didn’t take off her bikini top on Mykonos, but nobody seemed to mind.

Three Greek islands are listed in the top 16 list published by US News, based on the opinions of experts and readers alike.

As you’d expect, Santorini is the top Greek island destination. What’s a slight surprise is the fact that US News picks the island, also known as Thira, as its top choice.

Mykonos and Crete are listed at ninth and thirteenth, respectively.

Mykonos, part of the Cyclades group, in the Aegean has launched a thousand postcards. Known as the isle of winds, it is famous for its trademark sugar-cube houses, amazing beaches and non-stop party atmosphere the island has something for everyone.

The “bean counters” now running the finance ministry under the radical leftist SYRIZA government have apparently forgotten the tale of the “Golden Goose”, otherwise it doesn’t make sense that central government officials are demanding the municipality of Mykonos raise rates for leasing beach umbrellas and chairs by as much as … 120 percent!

TIME magazine’s article “9 Vacation Spots That Are Better (and Cheaper) Than the Places You Want to Go” looks at less-traveled locales that have the perks of iconic destinations but have fewer tourists and are more affordable.

George Zisimopoulos, the owner of the building that houses the iconic “Caprice” Of Mykonos, has finally won rights to the venue after winning a long legal battle with the current manager, Nikos Gryparis. Nikos had leased the bar in 1980 and managed to make it one of the best, most talked-about bars in the world, according to Newsweek.
