Once Mykonos was a discreet retreat for old-school glamour - but now the celebrities are making it SHOW OFF island She arrived by boat in a sleeveless shift and simple headscarf. And as the world’s most famous woman stepped ashore, waving away the offer of a car to explore the local shops by foot (she stopped in one to buy a wooden boat for her young son), the seeds were sown for an obsession that would shape the rest of her life. It was 1961, two years before the assassination of her husband, and the start of Jackie Kennedy’s Greek love affair. Not with Aristotle Onassis — she did not meet the shipping tycoon who became her second husband on that first trip — but with the magical island of Mykonos. Sensationally pretty and famed for its squat, white and blue houses and seven thatched windmills, it wasn’t long before this Aegean archipelago drew the Hollywood jet set to its shores. Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and Marlon Brando so...
