Mykonos View by Semeli Mykonos Town

... close to the marina that has music coming from it. I ate a lamb dish for dinner and since the Greeks eat dinner very late in the day and will frequently make an evening of it, it wasn't until close to 11 PM that we left the taverna. <br><br>I went back to the yacht to dress in my club clothes and to go to one of the few dance clubs that remained open over the winter. Although it wasn&#8217;t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

... 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>

... orange juice, taking exercise classes, bundling up between museums and spending a small fortune on face creams, treatments and make up. But, as I said, I have absolutely loved this experience. So, no complaints.<br><br>Today we are in Mykonos. And it finally looks like the movies. Not to insinuate Corfu and Athens weren't beautiful -- they just weren't the bleached white houses hanging from rocky cliffs. Mykonos is quite exactly that. I haven't gone into town yet ...

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!

Taxi to Piraeus quay where we were greeted by the Holland America staff and after waiting a short time in a huge marquee we were very efficiently processed by their affable team and soon boarded the MS Rotterdam. How exciting! <br>Once on board we were directed to the Lido floor where we sat and chatted with another Australian couple on their first cruise. The foretaste of what was to come in terms of ...

So you would think on the last day we would be off going crazy but its a little cloudy today so we just had a little walk to the harbour and had some coffee and cake and then went and got some pasta sauce to go with the left over spaghetti that we had and had a lovely lunch in then just sat and read our books caught up with washing underwear and repacking and washing backpack then got ready and had to drag myself out for ...

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 !!)

... were unreal!<br>We were actually glad to leave Egypt as we were continually hassled by hawkers, it was great fun but they start to annoy you after a while.<br><br>We arrived in Greece, had a snooze and went to visit the Acropolis, Olympic Stadium etc. Most of these were under restoration with scaffolding around them so that was a bit disappointing - especially when we had just come from Egypt, seeing all their amazing and ...

... houses, a sample of Cycladic architecture, its picturesque cobblestone paths, its nearly four hundred churches and its wonderful breaches all constitute the island's trademark.

... at the K Hotel complex about a 15 minute walk from the town centre. Each day I walked down the hill, past the windmills, through Little Venice to the town centre. The Mykonos town pelicans are there each day awaiting their feed from the fishermen... they wait and get fed from their own feeding trough.... its a great sight. Mykonos town is a maze of tiny shops and narrow alleys..... and its a great experience wandering through and into all the shops.
