Mykonos

Island princess at Mykonos

We docked early in Mykonos at around 7am. As we have throughout this trip we had woken early so after a quick breakfast we disembarked.  We hadn't booked a tour because we had decided just to walk around the main town area. 
What a gorgeous place.  Ironic whitewashed stone buildings with blue accents (red for some churches)  with bright pink  bougainvillea.

We made the right decision to just wander.  We had several hours to get lost in the narrow lanes of shops and hotels.  There were lots of art shops with great handiwork. I wish we weren't weight limited!!

We stopped at a taverna for a drink, not intending to eat but after reading the vast menu we couldn't resist and ordered a platter of cold appetisers to share.  It all was delicious.

The lanes that divided the rows between the houses and shops were barely wide enough to stand with your hands outstretched but still small trucks zoomed down them..but barely!! It was quite stressful trying to avoid them!!!
We only had half a day in Mykonos but it was enough to explore and do a little shopping.  We reboarded at 1pm and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon on board.
