On the left is Freddy Daktylidis, a well known figure in the community, always looking to make his mark in the island's history.
A camping site and a restaurant south of Mykonos island founded by Freddy soon to be named Paradise.
Hippies introduced nude bathing to Mykonos during the 1960s at this particular beach. Founded by Freddys Daktylidis, this was the beginning of a culture, a movement that would introduce Paradise Beach to the world.
A hidden paradise where like minded people went looking for freedom, friends and fun.
It didn't take long to get the word out. A real paradise kept attracting more adventurous travellers every year.
Access was quite difficult and only word of mouth could spread this passion for music, sun and love. Every summer the number of Paradise-goers kept rising.
Always a party atmosphere is what created this spirit, keen locals and tourists kept flocking to Paradise to experience the magic. In red, Freddy's son, Markos Daktylidis is seeing dancing with the crowd.
The legendary beach parties were starting to grow. In the background, Freddy's son, Markos, setting Paradise restaurant alight to keep the crowd entertained.
