Wednesday morning we arrived in the beautiful port of Mykonos. Mykonos is very striking with its whitewashed buildings along the hills surrounding the harbour, mostly with blue trim, contrasting with the crystal blue sea water. We had a walking tour of the old town, stopping to visit some churches and the famous windmills of the island, with a very good guide who provided some interesting historical insights. Then we explored the narrow streets on our own, stopping at many of the small shops, followed by a visit to the Aegean Maritime Museum. The museum has replicas of ships that sailed the seas from 2600 BC (BCE) to present and was fascinating. Next was a visit to a sea side restaurant for a delicious Greek lunch and then another for a glass of ouzo.
Mykonos is known as the party island for jetsetters and backpackers, but we were not there in the main tourist season, nor were we there at the right time of day – the action starts around midnight and continues to dawn! Another interesting fact is that Mykonos has over 62 private chapels in addition to 3 main churches.
Dinner Wednesday night was at La Terrazza, the speciality Italian restaurant. Dinner was a typical multi-course Italian dinner. It was mostly good, except for the veal scallopini main course, london england hotels where we found the veal cutlets to be very dry and tough. london england hotels We ordered a special premium wine – a 2006 Montalcino, which was superb. Food and wine service were excellent.
