It is a very sad and disappointing thing to know that Mykonos, once the island selected by authors, painters, sculptors and people aiming to experience the natural beauty of this island that was a rather poor stronghold for pirates for centuries has now become a place where prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, rudeness and complete disrespect of almost any lawful behavior rules.
Hotels, restaurants, beach bars and cafeterias charge exorbitant prices (usually without issuing any receipt), they employ young Greeks or illegal immigrants at monthly wages below (sometimes way below) the minimum wage, without any social security compensations and having them work 12-14 hour shifts on 7-day weeks treating them like slaves, while beach bars and hotels occupy beaches charging ridiculously high prices for an umbrella and two chaise longues, forbidding people who are not willing to use and pay for them from swimming in the beach (by Greek law all beaches are public and freely accessible to everybody).
Much of the tourist economy of the island is fast in the hands of the Russian mafia and its oligarchs and much of the food, equipment and fuel supplies along a good part of the building business is ruled by the Albanian mafia.
Corruption runs really high, as you can open any sort of shop almost anywhere, provided you have "the right connections" and you can build whatever you wish (or can afford) without feeling restricted by any building permits, Greek laws on the use of land or any public space demarcation.
Local Mykonians, once happy and proud of their island, are questioning whether they are going to have the means to keep their properties on the island, are more and more threatened by the shady people that make Mykonos their summer residence and by the myriads of people landing on their island in the summer, as tourists seeing Mykonos as the paradise for heavy drugs, easy free and paid sex, wild partying and a chance to engage in any sort of extreme, unhinged nightlife "entertainment" of all sorts.
Mykonos was recently characterized as the "Colombia of the Mediterranean Sea", if that adds a layer of description to the fast, sad and possibly irreversible disintegration of this very beautiful island.
What a shameful waste!
