If ever you had fantasies about going gay, there is only one place to experiment: Mykonos.

I’m not talking gay-between-the-sheets stuff, just living like a gay person for a little while – because gay people really know how to live well. They know the best places to eat, the grooviest bars, all the moody late-night clubs, the sexiest beaches, the coolest shops.

Our Mykonos gay experience began at the gay Geranium Hotel. We were not the only gays in the village when we arrived to meet New Best Friends, Damon and Rick, from Australia on holiday in Mykonos, already there a week before us and had done the all important gay research on the hippest places. Geoffrey, me, Damon, Rick and Another New Best Friend, Deno, made an attractive bunch if I may say so. We were up for A Big Night.
