... 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 ...

It&#8217;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 ...

... to not get so caught up with what you've achieved in life, as to get caught up in how you are living and celebrating life. Because I promise you, one day all of our oh-so-important-stuff is going to be washed over just like the Romans. And we'll be a quaint little blip on the map of history.<br><br>Um. Sorry. I went a little deep there. Perhaps those thoughts are better saved for my journal than my hippity hoppity fun blog!<br><br>Okay, so, Mykonos today and then ...

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!

... 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 ...

... to eat. We picked a little place in the harbour and had a lovely meal Ian having lamb and I had Stifado was delicious then in the place we where they had a traditional Greek wedding taking place with live music and everyone was up doing the traditional dancers. The bride and groom had not arrived but they were due to arrive later I think we did not hang around and had a lovely walk back to the hotel and a long long sleep.

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 !!)

... are being replaced with the exact same marble from the same quarries as the original, and they will eventually oxidize to a similar color.<br><br>We drive to the Rafina Port for lunch and board our 3:15pm high-speed hydrofoil bound for Mykonos, arriving about 2.5 hours later after a brief stop at Tinos. This place is such a famous gay destination it feels in many ways like we are on a pilgrimage. It oozes charm. Our hotel is new, and absolutely ...

Today is Mykonos Day. But we only arrive at 2:30 pm so we have the morning to lounge around. We got up late (yes, again) and just made breakfast cutoff time of 10am. We lounged around the pool. It was hot and sunny but it was very windy and it kept blowing our stuff around the deck floor. We finally left to get ready for our excursion to Delos - the island known for the mythical birthplace of the god Apollo. For Mykonos, we were tendered to the ...

On Monday we loaded the bus at 7:15 and set off for our 4 day cruise. The bus ride was about an hour and a half to get to the Port of Piraeus where we left from. On the way we picked up Christain from Glyfada. He was our escort for the trip and did all the planning and dirty work for us. The cruise ship that we were on was the Aegean 1 and was full with 560 passengers during our trip. Once we disembarked we had a meeting on what to ...
