Greek Island Cruise Mykonos aboard the Crown Oddyssey

Mykonos - Greek Islands Cruise Review

Mykonos Greece is one of the most famous Greek islands in the Aegean and attracts thousands of visitors every year. It has the reputation of having one of the most sophisticated nightlife in Greece and the Mediterranean.

It is also an island which offers beautiful landscapes, picturesque white painted villages, hundreds of little churches, windmills and one of the most extraordinary golden sandy beaches in the Cyclades.

Mykonos cosmopolitan character has made it famous as an international tourist resort. Mykonos is a beautiful, picturesque island with an all-white Hora (the main village) next to the crystal-clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea.

Mykonos enchants the visitor with the golden, sandy beaches, the lively atmosphere, the friendly and easy-going people.

All these together with the clear atmosphere, the summer breeze, the colors - light and dark blue, gray, white - explain why Mykonos has inspired painters and photographers and has become the holiday resort for many socialites.

The islands beauty as well as the friendliness of the people and the eternal magic of Delos, one of the most sacred places of Antiquity, have made Mykonos one of the most cosmopolitan holiday resorts of the Mediterranean, if not of the whole world.

Mykonos covers an area of approximately 85 km and it is situated almost in the middle, between Tinos and Naxos and east of Syros where Ermoupolis, the capital of Cyclades is situated. Mykonos population is 6,500 people but during the summer period the number of tourists visiting the island is double.

The Greek island of Mykonos as viewed from our cruise ship.	Windmills? They sure look like windmills but I don't see any sails... This is one of those times a guide would be handy.	Lots of little boats in this scenic little harbor. I imagine a lot of them are fishing boats?
Some of these streets were very narrow. I guess that explains the UPS guy I saw making deliveries on a bicycle with baskets to hold the packages.	Typical street scene. Yes, some of the streets are wide enough for cars.	Another plain old street scene. The closer you get to the dock area, the more people you see. But go wandering and the further you wander the fewer people you run into.
Red snapper for lunch. I had never seen a whole red snapper before. Interesting. This was not at our table, but at the table next to us. The waiter is the one dissecting the snapper.	Jeeze! Look at those teeth! This was a neat restaurant. We sat next to a stone wall about 3 feet high. On the other side of the wall was the ocean. I could reach over the wall and dip my fingers in the ocean while seated. kewl.	Hard to get a picture of this but when you throw a piece of bread into the ocean (while seated at our dinner table), the water would "boil" with these little fish attacking the bread.
Kathy shopping for a bathing suit. We did a little bit of shopping in Mykonos.	This is Lea, she owns this internet cafe. Internet cafes are really handy if you are as hooked on the internet as we are.	Kathy and Lea pose for a photo.
Me online in the internet cafe.	Kathy wanted to get a picture of me in my kewl new sun glasses I picked up for about $10.00. LOL	There are all of these huge ferry boats all over the place.
