Mykonos, Greece

We set sail in the afternoon for Mykonos. It is going to take some time to get back to the Dardenelles and across to the wee island of Mykonos.

We arrived late morning and again another really hot bright gorgeous day. We really have had some incredible weather during this trip. We wandered around the narrow streets, all so typical of a Greek Island. This island is where they shot the movie Shirley Valentine. Gorgeous buildings in the traditional blue and white and many had  the red and white colour scheme too. A pretty wee place, with masses of climbers flowering and flowing over the streets.   I would love to come again and stay for a while. We meandered around the sea shore and up towards the windmills to a bay where we had a swim to cool off. We did not even need a towel as it was so warm we just sat in the sun and dried that way.

 After the swim we went back down to the bars in little Venice . It is called Little Venice   because(as in Venice, Italy) the buildings are lapped by the sea. 

We enjoyed our cocktailswith some friends as we watched the sun set. We had a late sailing tonight so it was lovely to just be ashore and enjoy the local hospitality.
