Next in our tour through the Cyclades after
Naxos and
Paros was Mykonos. Prior to visiting I did not know much beyond its reputation for parties and beach clubs. I learned that there is definitely more to experience than
Super Paradise.
We stayed at the
Elena Hotel, which is an easy walk from the center of town. Once again I took too few pictures. It's a nice little 3* hotel. They were (maybe still are) renovating in stages. The newer rooms are terrific value in a nice spot that offers easy access to the shops and restaurants of downtown while still being set just far enough away to be very chill. The two pics I did take are one view of my more basic older room (with the modern interpretation of a chicken/rooster painting) and the outdoor area where you can eat breakfast, sit with a glass of wine, or take a picture of your sneakers.
(Borrowed this next shot from my colleagues who posted it to the group chat. Think you can tell those aren't my fingers on the keyboard.)
Eventually I got up and walked around a bit. Managed to take a few shots of the surrounding area generally before meandering down to get a view of Little Venice.
At some point we set off on a catamaran cruise over to
Delos and
Rineia. This was generally pleasant. However, as Mykonos is known as the Island of the Winds and it was late April, it was honestly a bit chilly despite the brilliant sunshine. I mostly curled up trying to stay warm. Snapped a couple of shots of the sheep on Rineia, which is uninhabited aside from the shepherds.
Last pic for this post because it doesn't really fit anywhere else is a beer I ordered during dinner at
m-eating, where we had a lovely meal. Trust me. And the beer was pleasant, too.
