Hotel Alex Mykonos

... be a few more toasts and islands!

At the Marina Café, we were served by Rachel, one of the owners. We took an immediate liking to her. She took pictures of us, and we arranged to see her when we'd return in a week. As we were preparing to leave, she treated us to complimentary glasses of Ouzo. Why is this liquor called Ouzo? My sister-in-law explained it years ago. She said, "When you drink it ...

Delos is an incredibly interesting place. The entire island is a collection of ruins where no one is allowed to stay on the island overnight so everyone who visits are day trippers—most of whom are staying in Mykonos. It was an excellent day for exploring ruins at just over 60F degrees it was cool and pleasant. There is a lot to explore on the island so be sure to leave enough time to see it all.

There are no complete building standing, but ...

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 ...

Kalimera! Upon seeing Mykonos for the first time, we thought we were in the opening scene of Mama Mia! Upon our departure, we felt like we were guests of a "Big Fat Greek Wedding"!

Princess had contracted out local Greek charters to transport passengers from the Ruby to the Island of Mykonos! The local Greeks were very hospitible and provided a short and smooth transit to the island's marina. We were so ...

... and soon after we headed into town at about 9pm for dinner.

The town was so beautiful at night and we ate at the cutest little Greek place. After we teamed up with our friends from the hotel and headed for out night out. Made it to this gay club with the most fantastic Drag Queens, ( except for my baby) and then headed out to Paradise Club on a very packed out bus to some Rave party with Martin Solveig.

... but continued to the end and decided to walk all the way to Paradise beach, and it was quite a walk!! We walked all the way along the coast (sometimes on the edge of cliffs) from Platic Gialos through Paraga beach (with lots of naked people and cats) and ended up at Paradise, where we ran into our cop friend, drinking beer and of cousre, smoking. It was really beautiful there. We were really tired of walking and got some refreshments and figured we would walk along the ...

... out of the farms in Colac. Heaps of rocks and very dry. Dad I have taken a few photos of it for you. At dinner last night sat next to a French couple who had to be 30 years differene in age! Good times! True love. Also we have posted some photo's on my facebook page for those interested. Enjoy the weekend everyone and thanks for reading about our Greece experiance. Not sure how much internet there will be in Turkey but I will update where I can. Cheers, Katie

... and when we arrive at our destiny we are on the verge of dying because everything is soooooooooo expensive!! my godness, hotel owners ask us for €100-120 per night for a room! My friend and I image ourselves sleeping in the beach because we're not able to pay this fortune, but finally a woman that first asked for €100 reduces the price to €50 (twin room, shared bathroom). BARGAINING IS STILL ALIVE! Hotel ...

... party at the hotel, which was fun. there are about 150 law students from miami here on a study trip, so there are finally more americans than australians! it's pretty funny. today a group of us rented a car to explore the island a bit more. we ended up going to super paradise beach - the water was crystal clear and there was not a cloud in the sky! a perfect beach day! afterwards we went into the town of ...

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.
