| Mykonos |
| Date Last Visited -- 2008 |
| We knew we were out too early when the only people out were the locals painting a fresh coat of whitewash. We enjoyed walking the peaceful alleys of Mykonos....getting hopelessly lost. We giggled like fools as we passed these flowers and this vendor sign at least four times (we had to take a picture) Finally we took a break and had some juice and coffee at a waterfront cafe |
Although known for its wild party nightlife and top beach destination of young travelers...Mykonos is charming in the early morning. Erica and Mom spent the day together and we disembarked the cruise ship early. No one was awake...No shops were opened...Just the locals tending to business. We must have walked the entire town three times...getting lost over and over. Maps are useless, because the rambling alleys and footpaths, twisting and turning, were designed to confuse and slow down pirates of old and now tourists alike. Be persistent. Ask questions. Don't leave before finding the windmills, little Venice and much more. Don't panic, you have all day...so get lost. Stop at a local grocery store for some feta, stop at a street vendor selling gyros, Stop again for some wine and Dolmados at a little cafe. Just enjoy. The shopping is fun, but pricey. Athens, Rhodes and Turkey have the bargains. Just have a great day. Dad, Amanda and Brent spent the day diving. We have included some photos. See the Scuba page for more |
