      First off, this private retreat looks as though it came straight out of one of Indiana Jones’ adventures, an almost mirage-looking miracle. Make sure to pack your sunglasses as the gold glinting off the tufa rocks surrounding the town and the silver inlaid in the basalt streets may overwhelm with its opulence.  One of the most notable and beautiful places on Earth, it’s a place to be lost… and found in again.  Did we mention the indoor cave pool?

      Mykonos is one of the “Big 4” gay summer resort destinations in Europe. It’s even rumored that Jackie Onassis put Mykonos on the map as one of the chicest islands to travel to. The gay community followed back in the ’70s when her and her entourage frequented the island.

      Though gay marriage is not recognized in Italy, that shouldn’t deter a couple looking to wed in this luxe land. A civil union in the couple’s home state should take care of the legality, but Italy is quickly becoming a hotspot for performing LGBT commitment ceremonies and with the legalization of gay marriage in Ireland, a predominantly Catholic country,  many social commentators are saying Italy isn’t far behind.

      Not satisfied with a simple hotel takeover? How about your own private island? Talk about a serious commitment ceremony. Step one: Invite everyone you know. Step two: commence party. Rent the whole island and go Swiss Family Robinson - or stay in one of the private residences or Banyan Tree Estate. Either way, with lush, local exotic fruits, an extensive rum collection and onsite chapel, "marry" making on this island has all the ingredients for a heavenly elixir.
