Hotel Pelican Mykonos Town

... 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. <br><br>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 ...

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again. <br>

I love the fact that I'm sick. Not in an, "Oh, what fun to be sick!" way, but in an, "Expectations will get you every time!" way. I am still really, really enjoying the cruise. But I think the theme of the trip is undoubtedly learning to embrace whatever comes your way even when it's not exactly what you thought it was going to be. I assumed I would be spending the entire cruise sunbathing, getting a deep, dark, golden tan and boozing like a sailor. Instead I've been ...

this trip was very special to me,because it was the first one after I finally finished with school and had the freedom to do everything I want,without anybody else controlling me!the only thing I wanted to do is find a nice place with great people to relax and so I did.i met many interesting people and it was a journey to remember!

... caparisoned as is the rest of this beautiful ship. The quality of the finish, the decorations, artwork, statues, floral arrangements, panelling and the facilities are superb. There is an upmarket restaurant called the Pinnacle Grill which we will visit at some stage but there one has to pay ($20 each), whereas in other restaurants on the rest of the ship food is free, abundant and delicious.

Took the hydroplane from Santorini to Mykonos. Stayed right on the beach and the cruise ships docked right down the beach. Island topography not as dramatic as Santorini but very nice. Surprised how dry and little vegetation on both islands. Got my whole body in the Mediterranean not just my feet (no pictures of that !!)

... huge monuments! We took the ferry to Mykonos and spent 2 nights in a huge apartment with balcony and great views of the Marina, the apartment is actually meant to sleep 7 but we had the whole thing to ourselves. The weather was pretty windy and overcast so we rented a scooter and scooted all around the island, looking at all the lovely beaches but not swimming as it was a bit chilly. Matt didnt realise that Mykonos was mainly an island ...

We took a private ferry tour over to Delos Island where the ruins of the city lie that was the home of Zeus and the birthplace of Appolo and his twin sister Diana (Athena). The city is now in ruins (of course) but at one time it must have been a beautiful city all made out of white marble with columns and statues of the Greek gods all over the place and an amphitheatre as well as a city wide sewer system and individual wells for all ...

We finally get to leave the ship! The boat didn't dock until 3 this afternoon but once we could, we were off an running into Mykonos. It was a pretty little island....white buildings with blue trim that looked great against the clear blue skies. The tour we wanted to book was sold out so we mostly wandered the island and window shopped. At ...

... it was my first day and I was still quite tired, so we just went back to the resort and opted for some relaxation. That night we went for a great, albeit expensive, greek dinner with nathan's parents, and I must admit those greeks know how to do teh appetizers. I was literally in heaven. Mostly because I was dead but also because the food was so good. Day two at Mykonos brought on a return trip to Paradise beach, only this time we were more in the mood. We ...
