Greece: More Mykonos

After a couple of days of touristing around Mykonos-town and Delos (stay tuned for that post) it was time to soak up some sun and relax on one of the beaches!  Based on recommendations we opted for Platis Gialos for our first day.

We spent the whole day on loungers under umbrellas enjoying the sun, the heat, the view, and our new found treat…the Cappuccino Freddo!  Sadly that gloriously beautiful water isn’t very warm…damn you September!

For our second beach day we opted for Paradise Beach.  While it was also lovely and warm it wasn’t quite as nice as Gialos.

Public transit was incredibly easy to use and reasonably priced.  They rock big tour buses for transporting folks around the island…can’t beat that!  On our way back from Paradise we got off the bus early and tracked down this Starbucks.  We were soooo weirded out that this existed and had to stop to check it out.

It was hands down the worst iced coffee I had on the whole trip…LOL.  But of course I got the mug!

The sunsets were perfect every night!

The cruise ships arrived in droves on our last morning.  We spent the time sipping our cheap wine on the beach watching the shuttle boats go back and forth before heading for our next ferry adventure.

Those waves made for an ‘interesting’ fast boat to Santorini. Gulp.
