About this audio guide
This guide to Scorpios in Mykonos follows nightlife veterans Thomas Heyne and Mario Hertel, who spent seven years chasing one cliffside strip above Paraga Beach before finally buying it. It traces why they refused to call it a beach club, naming it instead after Aristotle Onassis's private island nearby, and the skepticism that greeted its 2015 opening. You'll hear what the venture cost each of them personally during Greece's financial crisis. Face west toward Delos for the view the whole story circles back to.
