WELL, HELLO HANDSOME

was in my 20s the first time I went to Mykonos alone. It was also the first time I was able to be out as gay in Greece. My grandmother was from Andros, which, along with Mykonos, Santorini, and dozens of other islands, comprise the Cyclades Islands. I spent many summers in Andros watching the ferries from Athens stop at (town) with gay partygoers on their way to Mykonos and I began plotting early how I would eventually get there myself.
