Our ferry arrived in Mykonos early afternoon and we were much to the relief of our fellow passengers transported to our hotel. After a long travel day we had a couple of free hours to rest and relax, which Tim and I spent poolside enjoying a light lunch before heading into town for an early dinner. Steve introduced us to a great restaurant or “creperie” rather where I had a Greek crepe with ham, cheese, tomatoes, peppers, olives, and feta, so far Greek food has been divine. Along with the crepe I enjoyed a nice Greek frappe, which is essentially iced coffee, but as with all coffee I have come across in Europe thus far, extremely strong and delicious.
After our light dinner Tim and I spent some time strolling through the charming streets, if you can even call them that, of Mykonos. Code in Mykonos states that everyone must white wash their building and paint their trim once per year. Citizens of Mykonos can only paint their trim blue, red, green, or yellow, and although blue is the most common, you do see some of each, and in a variety of shades. Mykonos is also famous for its 21 windmills. All of which contributes to Mykonos’ pristine charm.
Later Tim had his first of many gyros in Greece before we headed back to the hotel and to bed, Friday we planned to head first thing to the neighboring island of Delos to explore its ruins, so we needed our rest.
