Time for another ferry ride, this time to Santorini! That was the littlest truck we'd ever seen!
Greece: Mykonos, at Night
Nothing like some twinkly lights reflected upon the water with a warm summery breeze fluttering through your hair.
And. Seeing these guys, again. Have a lovely weekend!
Greece: Mykonos, The Wind Mills
Oh, the famed Wind Mills of Mykonos.
As we turned around a narrow and crowded corner, this was our first glimpse of the wind mills. The timing couldn't have been better; with the sun just starting to drop it created the most gorgeous light.
Most of the cafes facing the water boasted the "best sun set view", but expensive cocktails at over crowded cafes like Scarpa didn't make sense, especially when the sun set could be viewed from anywhere. So, this is what we did, instead.
Breathtaking, to say the least. See how these windmills compare to Zaans Shans, in Amsterdam.
Greece: Mykonos, The Town
The next day we took the shuttle bus into downtown Mykonos. What an incredibly stunning place Mykonos is. Would love to go back, it's absolutely gorgeous. Blue and white paint? Check. Churches? Check. Narrow cobblestone walkways? Check. But who knew about the stray cats? So cute!
Greece: Mykonos, Hotel St. John
Only the best. hotel. ever.
Greece: Ferry to Mykonos
The next morning we were off to Mykonos via Hellenic Seaways' high speed ferry, which took about 4-5 hours includinng stops along the way at smaller islands. We boarded from Piraeus in Athens. If you see vendors selling breads and pastries that look tasty, pass. They were quite disappointing. The food on the ferry is equally tasteless. The journey itself wasn't uncomfortable, however there were some hiccups with seating arrangements and a huge delay when we returned to Athens from Santorini, but that may have been due to the taxi strike at the time. However on the way to Mykonos from Athens, excitement prevailed over anything worth complaining about. And the views from the outdoor deck of the various islands were phenomenal.
