Mykonos Island, Greece

I spent 5 nights there, so here's some info:
Its gorgeous. beautiful deep blue water against golden colored sand. All the houses are painted bright white, and they must paint them every year because its really bright white, and they have bright blue or red accents on the shutters, doors, etc. All of this against the golden terrain. really beautiful.
Its a small party island, so you might start to get bored after a week. Stay in the city center. The city is very small.
Its not as cheap as mainland greece, but its not too expensive overall.
Definitely rent an ATV or motorbike. Ride around the Island, its amazing, and ride to all the party beaches.
GIRLS & PARTY LIFE:
Chances of hooking up with a Greek girls is supper slim. They give no love to foreigners. They are very pretty and generally polite, but they wont bang you. So timing is very important. You got to go when tourists are there. I went in early June, and it was the wrong time. Very few foreigners, and to make things worse it was a greek holiday, so a ton of greeks came from the mainland. Greeks are cool people, and cool to talk to, but you are not going to bang any of their girls.
I had a friend who went in August and its a whole different story. He told be all sorts of crazy tales, like there were people banging on the beach at night, and tons of drunk crazy foreigners. June was very tame. Go in July or August.
Overall, its not the place to try to soak up the culture, and get an authentic experience. Its all about the beach in the daytime, and major partying at night. And banging drunk tourists. Its a party spot.

Never been to Greece though I did meet a Greek guy a couple of years ago in Austria. According to him Greece is a VERY conformist culture. He was regarded as a bit of an outcast since he was a vegitarian, a stoner, didn't go in for the whole traditional Greek cultural celebrations etc. He was in his 30s and single and was travelling round Europe, something he said 95% of Greeks would never do; they all marry early and wouldn't think of travelling since nowhere can beat Greece. Apparantly what you see in the film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is only a slightly exaggerated version of the truth. Perhaps as you say the whole pride (possibly xenophobia) thing means having a ONS with a foreigner is looked down upon in a culture where peer-pressure is very strong. It's also still quite socially conservative compared to - say - the UK in terms of traditional family values and gender roles. I've heard some of the nearby Balkan countries like Croatia, Bosnia, Albania etc are easier to hook up in than Greece. Still sounds a good place though!!

The ONS situation in Greece sounds pretty similar to much of Italy. Though you might be able to find a lay in Milan, possibly.
Nonetheless, I'd love to go to Greece, would do it in a heartbeat. I know this is a pickup forum, but sometimes, you just have to enjoy the experience of travel regardless of how much luck you're having with the ladies and not let your c*ck determine how good a time you're having. Otherwise in a way, you're still allowing women to dictate your happiness.

Thanks I will be there is a month or two I think
Thankfully I picked up my Greek flag some time ago in Paris (very cute girl but by god she was hairy! What a turnoff!)
My general impression of Greek people is very similar to Turkish people. Dudes are possesive of 'their' women to the point of complete dickheadishness.

I know a few girls who have been to Mykonos a few times have told me it is a major gay vacation destination. Beautiful place, but not great for hooking up if you are a straight guy.

I went to Mykonos and other Greek islands about five years ago.
It's more gay in September / October than during the summer. There's still a gay contingent over the summer but it's way less noticeable since there's so much other stuff going on.
In August it's a major Italian holiday destination and gilded youth from all over the mediterranean flocks there. I didn't have much success with locals (not sure why, I was younger and less deep in the game back then). Did better with tourists, especially Italians and Americans.
I rented a small boat and sailed around scoping out the beaches. Most of the nude beaches are filled with guys and whales, so not worth going far afield for beaches unless you're just looking for somewhere isolated that looks spectacular.
Out of the Greek islands I had most success in Ios, a major backpacker destination. Lots of cheap accommodation, beach parties and young travelers.

DO NOT GO TO MYKONOS! It is about the worst island in greece and a mecca for homosexual men.I had to go there twice to bury reletives and the people are as about the shittiest you can get even at greek standards.No trees,garbage everywhere and shitty locals.Ive been to most greek islands and that place makes me sick.

I did Rhodes/Kos over ten years ago, it was epic then but I am sure my info would be outdated. When I went there were loads of Scandinavians, but I met two lovely swiss girls. Funny thing the nicest girls were Danish, so i amazed that Roosh found the country to be a major let down.

Rhodes City is probably the main party hub for heterosexuals. While there is lots of Scandinavians still there that particular crowd has however now moved on to Ayia Napa, Malaga or Anatalya. The greek islands IMO has lost a lot of their old swagger. With the state of the crumbling greek economy a lot of investors has also pulled out which means there are less classy resorts and nightlife promoters focusing on Greece as well.

Wow...these girls in Athens kept saying to come back and visit Mykonos.
So if this place is really this bad, what other island would you guys recommend?

Kos in the Docadecanese is a hidden gem. 90% Scandinavian sluts.
