Mykonos, Greece

We've spent the last week in Greece and for the most part it was wonderful : ) Our first stop was the island of Mykonos.

When we arrived, we had nowhere to stay yet, so we booked a room with the travel agents at the airport. They set us up with a hotel in the center of the town and it was set up like a bed and breakfast. The owner, Kostas, was very kind and helpful during our stay. We had our own room and bathroom (with a shower that was just a shower head mounted on the wall of the bathroom) plus free breakfast!! After we got cleaned up from our long night of sleeping in the airport and traveling on the plane, we ventured out to town. The streets lead right up to the water, and it would come crashing over the sidewalks. It wasn't the best weather, but it was still beautiful!

After a bit of window shopping, we found a little snack bar/restaurant that everyone was eating at so we decided to have dinner there. Gyro pita sandwich for only 2.50 euro! Thats a cheap dinner : )

The next day was our full day in Mykonos. We spent it at the beach. The southern part of the Island has some really nice beaches, so we spent time in a few different locations. We started in Platis Gialos and sun bathed for a while (surrounded by topless women- thats Europe for you!) then took a boat to Paradise. It was great when Amanda bought the tickets, asking for two tickets to paradise!! I dont know how much of a paradise it was, but we liked it minus the completely naked man and woman that we saw... That evening we went to a little restaurant called blu blu and watched the sunset. You can't go to Greece without enjoying at least one nice sunset!!

That night we had a bit of a freak out because we thought we'd be stuck on the island for another couple of days. There is only 1 ferry to Ios, and it was already booked. Luckily the next morning we found an alternate route and had a nice few hours to visit another island, Paros.
