Travel Log: Greece

Mykonos

Mykonos is a hub of beauty.

It is here that we did A LOT of shopping and a lot of tanning!

Streets of Mykonos

We stayed at K-Hotels which was really beautiful. The room was small but had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. The pool and restaurant area was amazing. The high-class restaurant overlooked the well-kept pool. The hotel was also situated on a hill-top which meant beautiful views but it was a bit of a walk into town. It was probably only a 10 minute walk but was quite hilly but bearable. 

We arrived in Mykonos in the afternoon and tried to walk into town from our hotel but got a little lost and ended up wandering aimlessly in the heat. We found our way back but decided to have a late lunch by the pool, have an early night, and try again in the morning. 

We were successful in finding Chora, Mykonos town, and wandered the cobblestone streets lined with white buildings. Chora was everything you see in the photographs. It was right on the ocean line as well, like literally, there were restaurants the lined the water and if you weren't careful, you'd get wet! We took a walk to the old windmills which overlooked Mykonos and provided some great views.

Me at the windmills

We had planned to take a beach tour day trip but the weather wasn't the greatest. I heard the beaches on the other side of the island are the places to go for a good time; especially Paradise Beach. We weren't lucky enough to venture to these parts but we were happy to enjoy the many shops, scenes and food we could experience in town and were also happy to laze by the pool of our hotel. 

One of the main things I'll remember from Mykonos were the wonderful crepes we had from a little late night store. The man there was very friendly. We went back the following night and he remembered us and our order! 

Mykonos is a must see!
