The Movies of Mykonos: The island of Mykonos is famous for its picturesque landscape that provides an excellent movie set. Its traditional small houses, its world-known windmills, the Little Venice neighborhood, the amazing beaches and the wonderful sunshine create a very special movie background. In fact, many Greek and foreign films have been set in Mykonos.
The Paramount film “Shirley Valentine”, directed by Lewis Gilbert, was shot out in 1989 in Agios Ioannis beach, 4 km from Mykonos town. The plot narrates the life of a middle-aged Liverpool housewife who finds herself miserable and wonders what happened to her life. Everything changes when her best friend wins a paid vacation for two to a Greek island. There, Shirley sees life in another prospect and builds a new world for her.
