Mykonos, Greece s famed party island, falls silent under new COVID rules Reuters 15 hrs ago By Phoebe Fronista MYKONOS, Greece (Reuters) - There was no music and no dancing on Greece s famed party island Mykonos on Sunday as new rules to contain the spread of COVID-19 pushed tourists to cancel holidays and left business owners fuming. Tourism accounts for a fifth of the Greek economy and the country desperately needs a strong season this year following a collapse in visitor numbers and revenues to record lows in 2020. Mykonos is one of its most popular destinations, attracting more than a million visitors each summer, among them Hollywood stars, models and world-famous athletes.

Two weeks after the country s official tourist season was declared open, everything is silent except for the work of bringing the place back to life. In the main town s maze-like alleyways, where during the busy summer months social distancing is easier said than done, work crews paint luxury shops. If all goes well, they will soon again be the backdrop of thousands of Instagram photos. At beach bars across the island, the speakers that normally pump out basslines and beats are silent, the only sound coming from the sea. Music still isn t allowed in venues despite the easing of restrictions to allow use of outdoor areas.
