Mykonos (4/15)



After Athens, Mom and I took a six hour ferry ride to the Greek island of Mykonos. The ferry ride was long, but absolutely gorgeous! We just sat outside on the benches and watched the islands roll by us. When we arrived in Mykonos, Panos, the manager of our hotel was waiting to take us to the hotel. He was so sweet and made sure we were comfortable and had the best view in the hotel! It looked out onto the Aegean Sea and we got to see a beautiful sunset every night.
Mykonos has a lot of local flavor. Like their pelican, who I call Petey, who enjoys walking in and around the shops and restaurants like he owns them. They also have Niko's restaurant which is world famous and we definitely ate their for lunch as soon as we got into town. The hummus and Greek salad were amazing! We explored what felt like the entire island and went through Little Venice, which I got a kick out of. We also saw the windmills, which were beautiful. The last person who knew how to unfurl them died about 15 years ago, so now they just stay curled up and still.
The pics are of the view of the little harbor of Mykonos and the gargantuan pink pelicans!
