Mykonos Island Mykonos Town, Mykonos, Cyclades, Greece, 84600, 30-22890-22454
After a quick, I mean quick tour of the Parthenon, we boarded our future cruise ship for a day ride over to the island of Mykonos. During, the six hour boat ride, I got the opportunity to meet more of the 40 people I was traveling with. My roommate, Elaine, has been fun to hang around with and easy to get along with in our room. I got to meet Doug and Allen on the trip. I was impressed with all of their individual travels/adventures. It is good to be around people of the same age, situation (...
Mykonos, Cyclades, Greece ksbx3Sunday, we headed by boat to the island of Delos to tour the ancient ruins. The ancient city of Delos was at it's prime thousands of years before Christ. This society was very advanced and developed many 'firsts'. This city has only been 25% excavated by the 8 archaeologists that reside on the island. They know that Delos had indoor plumbing because of the underground sewer system found. Most households had private cisterns that were fed by the larger community cistern filled by rain water. I...

... 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 ...
Delos, Cyclades, Greece mylifesjourneyIt’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. <br> <br> This is ...
Mykonos, Cyclades, Greece mylifesjourneyI 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 ...

Naxos, Cyclades, Greece malena.drela... amount and variety of food available on board was impressive and heartening as we had a self-service meal in the Lido Restaurant. <br>Our cabin (or stateroom as they were always called) had an unobstructed view to the sea across the Lower Promenade Deck right outside the window. It was very well organised, spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable with plenty of storage space and a large ...
Mediterranean Sea, Greece karanaWe visit the church, have lunch, and then continue by bus to Elia beach – reputed to be the best gay beach on the Island these days. The bus is loaded down with gorgeous men. One cutie from France has a Yorkshire Terrier in his handbag, and he's standing in the aisle right next to my seat. I get a French kiss from the French Yorkie! Storm or no-storm, the day is looking brighter already!<br><br>The beach turns ...
Mykonos Town, Cyclades, Greece wareameyeMykonos is an island with about 10,000 inhabitants. In summer, it swells to 100,000, so you can imagine what we were in for. Thankfully it is "shoulder" season and the hordes of tourists have been reduced greatly. The streets are still saturated with tourist trinket, jewelry shops, and plenty of restaurants and bars to keep all of the visitors fed and watered. Every building is painted bright white and the streets were purposely constructed ...
Mykonos Town, Cyclades, Greece meganandkevinMykonos.....there's nobody on this island in the winter season. The only reason I agreed to go with Cherry and Darelle was so that I could get to Delos, an island a short boat ride away. Delos, if you don't know, is a world famous archaeological site with some stunning ruins. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate at all and all the ferries to Delos were cancelled. So we did nothing for 3 days, because there weren't any ferries to escape the island. I suppose in the ...
