Mykonos Greek Islands

Woke up after a pleasant night to the ship anchoring in Mykonos. Decided to take a tour to the beach as we were staying quite some time here.
We were taken by bus through some small winding roads to a beach called Elia where the waters were crystal clear. We were then charged for our seats and umbrellas about $20, we only had 3 hrs here, but it was plenty to enjoy the warm clear waters and bask in the sun.         
   
Being the morning, we also had the beach to ourselves, lovely!

After our morning beach excursion, we headed back to town to grab some lunch at one of the local cafes. We always try the local food as we want to know and understand the culture of the places we go, even if it's too fleeting to really immerse yourself at least you get a taste of the Greek Isles.

The view during our travels to the other side of Mykonos to the beach and the view from the cafe on the shoreline.  Love Greek food, so much fish and fresh produce especially with the market farmers selling their wares on the street.


Mykonos like many other Greek islands is a place that comes to life after dark when the youth are out and about and ready to party. Loved that our shipped docked overnight to allows us to enjoy the nightlife of this beautiful island. It's amazing how a slow moving daytime life becomes a buzzing nightlife. Everyone comes out to play after dark, an experience that I enjoyed being part of.

So if I were to describe Mykonos, I'd say  'a place for lazy days and fun filled nights'
