Notes
Giannis Galatis is one of Mykonos island’s emblematic figures and he is actually believed to be one of the Mykonos founding fathers.
He is a self–taught painter, decorator, clothes and jewellery designer, author and amateur singer.
He has outfitted such famous women such as Julie Christie, Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman and Jackie Onassis.
Most of the celebrities who set foot on Mykonos have passed by his gallery, the “Galatis Art Gallery” which he had founded back in 1958.
