Three perfect days in Mykonos, Greece!

Yia sou! This is hello in Greek, now I know where the saying comes from, it's all Greek to me, cause when you look at everything written in Greek it's completely foreign! Our hotel, the Kamari, is 200 meters from Platys Yialos, the most scenic beach in all of Mykonos and where the locals go when they want to go to the beach. We ate at restaurant atlantida, a beachfront restaurant where the food was amazing!! You could then stroll to their loungers on the beach and have yourself a massage! Days two and three we spent in the main town of Mykonos. We strolled around the old port, Little Venice, and the windmills. Spent a bit of time shopping, I had to buy a bag for my bags in the end...lol. Today we visited the Archeological Museum where we saw countless original artifacts dating back to 8th century BC!  Very little security, some of it you could even touch! Bob found me a large pink pelican on the beach who posed beautifully for our pictures.

One of the local jewelers sent us to Opa Taverna for authentic Greek food where the locals eat, the Greek Plate had a little bit of everything, including wine leaves, which are called domatas in CA. I'm on the hunt for the cookbook used there, the owner showed it to me but it was in Greek! We were amused while in Opa that the other two couples there were from southern California and Vancouver, BC (small world!).

Some of you may have heard on the news about mayhem in Athens, it's a one-day strike to protest austerity measures. The strike did not extend into the Greek islands where things continued as usual. Very friendly, very laid back, indeed a wonderful place to holiday!
