Phase Three – Setting Sail



Paros

We disembarked the ferry and took in the marvelous sights of the port of Parikia – the windmill, white-washed buildings, clear blue sky. Our meeting point was the Marina Café. We used the tourist map supplied by Blue Star Ferries and info from Exas Yachts to find it. The check-in was located just behind the Marina Café and on the second ...

... are still many columns as well as some interesting mosaics. Even with what remains, there is enough to get a good idea of what the island would have been like in its heyday. The best know sculptures on the island are a row of lions.

We anchored within the Bay of Delos and returned in the afternoon for lunch aboard. After we finished exploring the island, we boarded the yacht and returned to Mykonos for the evening. We went to shore and found a ...

It’s a little cool outside for a party island that is famous for its nude beaches and all-night dance clubs. This is the first time that I wished we were visiting Greece during the tourist season since the town almost feels empty and the beaches deserted.

This is ...

... s cabin. But, before you send us hatemail, we would like to reinforce, we Love ABBA! We even Love Meryl Streep! We think she's one of the best actors in the movie business! We just think that Mama Mia was one of the goofiest movies ever made. It reminded us of one of those goofy half hour sitcoms where characters would periodically break out in song. Fortunately, the networks did the right thing and saved us all ...

... It became a big concern for a few days, but the good news is that they are mostly better by now, almost a full week later. It still is unknown what the bites are from, but the best guesses are sand fleas or mosquitos due to location of bites and people affected. I was lucky and didn't get any bad bites at all.
That night, Lindsey and I had a date night to a restaurant on a beach down the island. We took the scooter and had trouble ...

... Alex and Layton did a bit of leisure reading too! The sun was hot but the breeze made it nice..and in the shade it could even get cool at times. As we were leaving (6:15 pm) the party was picking up. All the beach bars were cranking up the music and had emcees standing on the bar to pump people up! Some of the outfits were a bit bizarre. One guy had on a gold lamae speedo (or something like that) and another one had on pearls and high heels. People like to ...

... buses, shops, people, scooters and things going on everywhere. I basically just spent the entire afternoon wandering around in the heat of the day. I had heard a lot about Mykonos before I got there and I was curious what I would think of it. I had heard or was under the impression that it was a crazy party place, a destination for the well to do people to spend their money, and also the island with a large gay population or following. After Ios, I was partied up enough, and on a ...

... adventures! (ps Greek ferries are MUCH better than Italian ones! chairs for all :) We did have anywhere to stay in Mykonos but that was cool cos we were met at the port by about a hundred people all wanting us to stay with them, even though it was 8pm. We defaulted to Paradise camping (don't worry, we had a room!) which is a total party place, but we got breakfast included and there are some great bars. We spent ...

... shop, with a few purchases made (not for me of course). Later that afternoon as we were all lying around the pool, soaking up the sun, the bartender comes to my and brings me a plate with a pink single rose on it. I didn't know what to think. Of course this bartender had to be the cutest one so of course I thought it was a personal gift and started to blush, until I looked closer and saw the pair of seahorse earrings sitting inside on two of the pedals ...

How on Earth did I get to be so lucky?

My family and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands. We ate a lot, got sea sick once, soaked up the sun, and absorbed the classically beautiful white and blue colours on the islands. There weren't very much ship activities that my sister and I were interested in but Allyson and I did win a bingo game! Mykonos was by far our favorite island because of its beauty.
