On August 30, Iraklis Karampasis, owner of Astra Miami, met with Ambassador Mykonos Promo Kostas Skagias, in Mykonos to discuss an upcoming event that aims to bring the spirit of Mykonos to one of the city’s most distinctive rooftop destinations.
The meeting focused on preparations for the major “Mykonos Experience Event” at Astra Miami, as well as a wider initiative involving selected travel agencies and travel influencers who will be invited to experience Mykonos firsthand.
Astra Miami: A Mediterranean Spirit in the Heart of Miami
Located in Miami’s Wynwood district, Astra Miami is a rooftop restaurant and lounge inspired by the meeting of Greek culture and Miami’s bohemian character.
The venue combines Mediterranean cuisine, cocktails, music, nightlife, and panoramic city views within an open-air rooftop setting. Its Sky Garden features lush terraces with Mediterranean plants, including olive and lemon citrus trees, creating an atmosphere that brings elements of the Mediterranean into the heart of Miami.
Astra also offers a range of spaces designed for private and special events, making the rooftop a natural setting for gatherings that combine dining, entertainment, and an elevated social atmosphere.
This distinctive combination of Greek influences and Miami energy makes Astra an ideal venue for an event centred around Mykonos and its international appeal.
Preparing the Mykonos Experience Event
A major part of the meeting was dedicated to the preparation of the upcoming “Mykonos Experience Event” at Astra Miami.
The marketing and PR team at Astra Miami is already preparing the event’s outreach, with invitations planned for selected bloggers, travel influencers, and travel agencies.
The intention is to create more than a conventional promotional gathering. The event is being developed as an opportunity to introduce an influential Miami audience to the atmosphere, lifestyle, hospitality, and identity associated with Mykonos.
With its rooftop setting, Mediterranean-inspired character, food, cocktails, music, and open-air spaces, Astra provides an environment particularly well suited to an event built around the Mykonos experience.
From an Event in Miami to an Experience in Mykonos
The discussion also covered a broader initiative that will extend beyond the Miami event.
Following a careful quality selection process, Kostas Skagias, Ambassador Mykonos Promo, together with the New York Tourism Advisory Group team, will invite selected travel agencies and travel influencers to Mykonos for a four-day hosted experience.
The planned hospitality period will take place between May 1 and June 15, at the beginning of the summer season. The timing is deliberate, as the selected guests will be able to experience the island at an important point in the travel calendar and share their impressions with audiences who are already planning their upcoming trips.
The initiative focuses on professionals and creators whose recommendations can have a direct impact on travel decisions. Travel agencies can contribute to future bookings, while influential travel creators can introduce Mykonos to engaged audiences through authentic content based on their own experiences.
Influential Voices at the Table
Also present at the meeting were Veronica Fontana and Christiana Grigoraskou, two influential personalities who are expected to attend the “Mykonos Experience Event” in Miami.
Their participation adds an important social and digital dimension to the initiative, bringing together hospitality, travel, destination promotion, and influencer marketing around a common theme: experiencing Mykonos and communicating its character to an international audience.
The involvement of carefully selected influencers and travel professionals reflects the growing importance of experience-led destination promotion. Rather than simply presenting a destination through traditional advertising, the initiative seeks to allow influential guests to experience Mykonos personally and subsequently share that experience with their own audiences.
The “Mykonos Experience Event” is supported by Platinum Members, MykonosBest and Semeli Hospitality Group.
