Mykonos

Mykonos has some wonderful views and great quirks that make it unique and fun. The main area was crowded and busy but the side streets were nice ad often empty. It felt like a movie set in those uncrowded places. Around every corner there were picture perfect spots of white building, blue, red, and green doors and adorable churches. The streets were super narrow and confusing as they twist and turn which made our adventure getting from one side to another a little more enjoyable. We visited the windmills, enjoyed all the stray cats, saw the pink pelican (an unofficial mascot of Mykonos), and did some shopping. Although all of the shops carried just about the same items it was still fun to peruse them. If we went again though we would probably only stop at one. B found a Greek dress and Stephen a shirt so it was not a total time waste.  

We enjoyed the chance to look over the castle ruins on Mykonos, it was interesting and has a lot of potential to be a great tourist spot. Unfortunately we were very disappointed to see piles of trash around. This became a theme of our time in Greece. They were beautiful places with amazing history that are not taken care of well.

For a late lunch we found Vegera a Greek restaurant along the water. It was a perfect way to end our Mykonos experience we enjoyed Spanish pie, pork skewers, zucchini balls, Greek salad it was all delicious. It was a hot day so by the afternoon we made our way back to the boat to cool down, enjoy the pool, and rest.
