Mykonos - Part II

Hej dragi moji,




Pre neki dan sam pisala o Mykonosu kroz dekade i kako je stekao svoj staus ICONIC ostrva. Ne znam za vas ali ja sam mnogo vec fan mesta koja su prosarana istorijom, nego super moderne gradnje. Nekako je zanimljivo sedeti i piti koktel u baru gde su sedela neka od najcuvenijih imena danasnjice i definitivno se oseca neka neobicna atmosfera u vazduhu....

Mykonos je najposecenije mesto u Grckoj posle Pantheona, sta privlaci toliko te sve silne turiste?

Hey my lovelies,

Few days ago I was writing about Mykonos threw decades and it's way on becoming ICONIC island.  I not sure for you but I am a big fan of places that have a little history in it. It's so interesting to sit down in a club that was one of favorites of Maria Kallas or Jackie O. There's something in the air...

Mykonos is the most visited place after Pantheon, but why is that?

Sigurno da je jedan od elemenata prelepa mediteranska arhitektura. Sve kucice su spolja iste: bele za plavim prozorima i ceo Mykonos je ukrasen sa prelepim ljubicastim cvetom bugunvilijom.... Na slici je samo jedna mala, obicna ulica u Chori:)


One of the elements is certinly it fantastic arhitecture, all white houses with blue windows... On the photo is small, regular street in Chora:)

Little Venice / Mala Venecija


Mala Venecija je jedno od najpoznatinijih mesta na Mykonosu, naziv je dobila po zgradama koje kao da izranjaju iz vode i u svako doba dana a i noci ona vrvi od turista... U Maloj Veneciji se pije kafa u toku dana, koktel uz zalazak sunca a nakon toga to je jedna od kljucnih tacki nocnog zivota na Mikonosu u kojoj  provod traje od 7 ujutru! Da se ispravim, jedino doba dana kada ne mozete popiti ni kafu je 9 ujutru, dana se sve priprema za novi dan i tada je praznjikavo, upravo u to doba su i nastale ove slike:)

Little Venice is one of the most popular spots in Mykonos town and it's always full of tourists. You can drink coffe here during the day, cocktail in sunset and party all night long. The only time of the day that Little Venice is peaceful is 9 am when is everything getting prepared for a new day, these photos where taken at that time:)

Petros

Kada ste vec u Maloj Veneciji, velike su sanse da naletite na Petrosa. Pelikan Petros je vec 50 godina simbol ostrva. On se opusteno secka tj. gega po gradu i turisti ga obozavaju, slikaju, jure, kao da se pojavila Brangelina u najmanju ruku, hoce da ga dodirnu... ali bolje bi bilo da budete oprezni je Petros ume i da gricne, tako da je moj savet da budete na bezbednoj distanci:) Inace, primetila sam da ga mestani vecinom teraju i grde, hmmm... verovatno im pravi haos:)


If you are in Little Venice there's a great chance you will see Petros the Pelican wondering around city. Petros is a superstar of the Island, he is the most photographed creature of the island and tourists adore him. But I am not sure that I could say that for the people on the islands, I think he's a little trouble maker:)

Windmills/ Vetrenjace

Na Mykonosu non stop duva vetar i nekada davno su gradjene vetrenjace kako bi se iskoristila ta snaga vetra, danas su one pored Petrosa jedan od najpoznatijih simbola Mykonosa.


Windmills are one of the symbols of Mykonos island.

The Beaches/ Plaze


Sve plaze na Mykonosu su prekrivene prelepim peskom, a more je tirkizno, tako da je divno za kupanje...Ono sto mi se jako dopada je sto jako vode racuna o muzici pa preko dana do nekih 6 PM. pustraju opustajucu ambijentalnu muziku, dok vec oko 6 krece brzi ritam ... tada se vec svi sa plaze sele u kafice i krece zurka:)


Jedna od svakako je najpoznatijih plaza je Psarou odnosno Nammos beach club... E tu mozete videte veoma, veoma stylish i bogate zene, cak su neke od njih nosile i Birkinke na plazu, jadna Birkinka... Elem, na Nammosu mozete sresti razno razne poznate licnosti kao sto su Roberto Cavalli, Giorgio Armani, Karolina Kourkova, Kate Moss, sve paparazzo fotografije u Grckoj nastaju upravo na ovoj plazi... Onima kojima ne prija guzva, preporucujem da je izbegavaju jer jedva da moze da se prodje izmedju lezaljki:)

The other very popular beaches are Agios Ioannis, that's the beach where Shirley Valentine's movie was filmed, and on that beach there's a super cool beach restoraunt called Hippie Fish:)

Sledeca plaza je Agios Ioannis, na tom mestu je snimam film Shirely Valentine, to je malo mirnija plaza a iznad nje je super ql riblji restoran koji se zove Hippie Fish:)

Also popular beaches are Sol Y Mar & Paradise beach. On Paradise beach there's a party 24/7 and it's mostly for young people...

Mojito

For all of you who love Mojito, there's a good news.. On Mykonos there are all sorts of Mojito, I personally loved Mango Mojito the most:)


Za sve vas koje volite Mojito, imam sjajne vesti, na Mykonosu mozete pronaci  mnogo varijacija na temu Mojito sa svim mogucim ukusima, moj omiljeni je Mango Mojito:)

Mykonos has style!

Mykonos is very fashion oriented, you can see a lot of super stylish people. Therefore if you want to shop this is the right place. There are lot of designer shops, but also high street brands and some super cool not branded clothes, if you are fan of MAC cosmetics you can also find it here, and the best thing of all is that the shops are opened until 3 am.:)

Ljudi na Mykonosu su veoma fashion oriented i na ulicama i plazama mozete sresti gomilu super stylish ljudi, samim tim i shopping je ovde jako dobar. Mozete pronaci dizajnerske stvari, high street brandove kao i mnogo slatke ne brendirane stvarcice i nakit, ima za svakoga ponesto. Takodje, ako ste ljubitelj MAC kozmetike, ovde je mozete pronaci, najgotivnija stvar je sto prodavnice rade do 3 ujutru:)

Parties/ Zurke

Mykonos is also known as Greek Ibiza for it's notorious parties... There is a constantly party somewhere, you just need to know where to go:) The bioritam of the people on the island is like this: People wake up at noon, than they havea morning coffee and breakfast, the go to the beach at 3or 4, have lunch at 6, have dinner at 11 or 12 pm, and after that thay hit bars, and clubs after 3 am and party until 6,7 am:)
Hotspots: Belvedere, Interni, Astra, Rock'n'roll, Little Venice, Remezzo, Jackie O....

Mykonos je svoju cuvenu reputaciju Grcke Ibize izgradio jos davnih '80 -tih kada je zapocela tradicija zurki koje traju po celu noc. Na Mykonosu je uvek negde neka zurka... Bioritam ljudi kojji dodju na ostvo je otprilike ovakav: Ustaju oko podne ili 1 PM. onda se razvace, doruckuju, piju "jutranju kafu", onda idu na plazu oko 3,4 rucaju oko 5, pa onda krece zurka na plazi negde do 9, onda se vecera u 12 bleji po barovima od 3 kada krecu da se pune klubovi koji rade do 6,7:) I tako svaki dan... Naravno vi mozete da iskocite iz tih okvira jer na Mykonosu ima sadrzaja za sve:) 
Hotspots: Belvedere, Interni,Astra, Rock'n'Roll, Little Venice, Remezzo, Jackie O... 

Remezzo je bio omiljen klub Onazisa, Marije Kalas i Jackie O. do ove godine tamo ste mogli videti njihove slike po zidovima:)

On Sol Y Mal Panama hat, Vogue and Cappucino Freddo!

Na Sol Y Mar-u Panama, Vogue i moja nova omiljena kafa Cappucino Freddo:)

Mogla bih da danima i danima pisem o Mykonosu, ali to je to u najkracim crtama... Nadam se da sam vam barem malo priblizila ovo predivno ostvo:)

 

Ne razumem Grcki, ali Pucci na naslovnoj i natpis Go Greece su presudili da uzmem ovaj broj:))

Mykonos - The Iconic Island - Part I

Hej ljudi,

Sorry sto me nije bilo, leto je i trenutno sam u opstem haosu, doduse, kao i uvek leti... Pa dobro i malo sam ljenja za pisanje, ali ko nije leti, zar ne?  I.... recite mi sta vi radite ovog leta: da li se suncate ili gresite (hmmm... ipak mnogo bolje zvuci na engleskom are you sunning or sinning?:D 

Sta god da radite, nadam se da se dobrooo provodite, jer je leto ovde jos kratko:) ... Za mene je Septembar vec jesen:)

Kada pricamo o letu, ne mozemo a da ne pomenemo Grcku i njena poznata ostrva. Ipak THE ostrvo u Grckoj je Mykonos. Ono je najpoznatije, a zurke su vec usle u legendu. Ovde izlazite na mesta koja su posecivali Jackie O. i Onazis, Marija Kalas, Bridgitte Bardot i mnogi svetski jet setteri od 1950-ih. Celo ostrvo odise nekom cudnom energijom koja vas pokrece i ispunjava i ne dam vam da spavate, doduse pored ovoliko desavanja san vam i nije neophodan, odmoricete se kada dodjete kuci:) 
Mykonos je kosmopolitsko ostrvo, vec u avionu primecujete gomilu interesantnih lica iz svih krajeva sveta koji su se uputili na isto mesto kao i vi. Inace, Mykonos je veoma Fashion oriented tako da je svaki izlazak iz hotela pravi eye popping za nas fashioniste, nikada nisam videla vise toliko lepo sredjenih ljudi na jednom mestu kao tamo...

Danas na Mykonosu mozemo sresti kreatore, manekenke, politicare, biznismene, glumce, muzicare, ali kako je to bilo kroz dekade?


Pa pre 1950-te Mykonos je bio jako siromasno osrtvo gde su ljudi prezivljavaju pecajuci ribu... Iskreno, sada mi je jako tesko da zamislim da je Mykonos ikada bio siromasan...

• 1960- te Mykonos je postao novo Hot ostrvo na mapi zahvaljujuci Onazisu i Jackie O.  Tada je otvoren i klub Remezzo koji radi i dan danas i gde ste do ove godine mogli da vidite njihove slike


• 1970-te Dekada kada je ljubav sirila svuda po svetu. Mykonos je bio jedno od najpoznatijih Hippie destinacija


• 1980-te E to je dekada koja je donela zurke koje su trajale po celu noc i po kojima je Mykonos izgladio svoju reputaciju party ostrva.


• 1990-te Mykonos je postao popularan medju modnih svetom: kreatorima i manekenkama. Jedan od prvih kreatora koji je posetio ostvo bio je Jean Paul Gaultier, danas mozemo sresti Roberta Cavalli-a, Dean & Deen-a iz DSquareda, Armania, Karolinu Kourkovu, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford i mnoge druge:) The best part is sto su svi toliko opusteni da u tom moru ljudi tesko da mozes da provalis ko je ko, tak kasnije vidis po paparazzo fotografijama u Hello-u ko je bio na ostvrvu :)

 Mnogi svetski celebritiji su sagradili kuce na Mykonosu kako bi imali stalnu vezu sa ostvrom, po cemu je Mykonos toliko poseban procitajte u mom narednom postu:)

Inace, po Grckoj mitologiji Mykonos je ostrvo gde se odigrala borba Zevsa i Titana, kao i mesto gde je rodjen Apolonov sin Mykos. Upravo zbog toga sam pricala sa drugaricama ko bi danas bio moderan Apolon jedna je rekla Willian Levy, a druga David Gandy... hmmm... ja kazem i jedan i drugi. 

Ko je po vama Apolon danasnjice? :)

Hi guys,

I'm sorry I haven't been around but it crazy around here at the moment:) Oh, and I am a bit lazy, yes I admit that I am, after all it is summer, right? So, my dear readers, what are you doing this summer sunning or sinning LOL:)


When we talk about summer, we all agree that Greek islands are one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Mykonos is THE island, the most popular, the most talked about and THe most ICONIC. Mykonos is on the map of world's jet setters, celebrities and generally people in guest for a good time:)

Mythology:  According to Greek Mythology, Mykonos was the location of the battle of Zeus and the Titans and the island was named by Apollo's grandson Mykons. That fact got me takling with my friends who's modern Apollo? One said William Levy, and the other David Gandy - I say both:D What do you say? who is Modern Apollo?

History:  Mykonos was once one very poor people survived on fishing. untill 1950's tourism become ecomony.

• In 1960's thanks to Onasis and Jackie O. Mykonos become the hot spot for celebrities and jet setters.

• In 1970's Love and Freedom was spreading all over world. Mykonos was hot spot for Hippies. 

• '1980's is the beginning of  all night long parties.


• In 1990's Mykonos become favorite among designers such as Jean Paul Gauliter, and has that status ever since. 

So, in the middle 60's Mykonos was already the favourite travel destination of celebrities from the international jet set. During the 70's, 80's, 90's Mykonos became fashionable for every artist, politician or businessman of that time. Important personalities like Aristoteles Onasis, Maria Kallas, Tzaki Kennedy - Onasi, Brigit Bardo, Zan Moro and Grace Kelly are some of the celebrities that visited this Aegean island in regular bases.

Mykonos is no longer a fashionable place, but a stable value. Many Greek celebrities have chosen to build their rural houses in the island in order to make strong connections with Mykonos.

But what, really makes Mykonos so famous? To find out... read my next post:)


Untill then, who is your modern Apollo?
