Mykonos, Greece


Another of my favorites: Mykonos, Greece. This island was beautiful and had lots of "beach areas". The only downfall to this island was that is was extremely windy!! We didn't reach this island until 6pm so being that the sun was setting, it didn't warm it up at all. Still didn't stop us from exploring the village and enjoying ourselves.  This village was full of beautiful shops, restaurants, churches, windmills,and houses. The buildings here are also whitewashed twice a year.





They have an area known as "Little Venice" because of its high-arcaded Venetian houses built right up to the water's edge. It was a nice little area to relax and enjoy the sunset and dinner.


We watched the most beautiful sunset while on this island. I have never seen one so amazing.


 Because I was being so adventurous (or that it was so good) I ordered another pizza for dinner. Not to mention,that when the other 3 people tried to order something off the menu, they said they didn't have it. So I was safe with pizza! It was delicious!

After we were done with dinner, the servers decided we needed "a shot, on the house". hmmm...okay, sure. Yeah, it tasted like Cherry syrup. But it was a memory. 

We still had a few hours before we had to be back to the ship, so we ventured around the stores, got some souvenirs again, and hung out. This island was probably my second favorite island. If only it were during the day, in the summer and I got to experience a beach day!


All in all, we had a fabulous time on our cruise, bought lots of souvenirs, made tons of memories and are most definitely glad we took the experience. Can not wait for our next excursion!
