So after a few days of nasty weather in a pretty place, Mom and I decided to venture onto the ferry of Mykonos that would take us to the island of Delos. This island has a ton of history, but the two things that stand out to me were that Cleopatra and Marc Antony hid there for a while and that at one time the island was used as a slave market and would transport about 20,000 slaves a day through this tiny island.
The island in general is supposed to be barren, but since we were there in the spring, we got to see all the flowers in bloom. So, we walked around this maze of ruins surrounded by wildflowers until we found the mountain with the best view in Greece. Our ferry was supposed to leave in about 30 minutes, but I convinced mom to climb it with me.
The sprint was totally worth it! When we reached the top we could see every island and delta for miles.
The pictures I'm posting are of the wild flowers with the ruins and the top of the island of Delos.
