Mykonos

We landed at Mykonos' "new" harbor in the early afternoon, took the bus to the "old" harbor, and began wandering the old town's almost completely pedestrian maze of kissing alleys. Greece really does pretty much shut down to tourism in the non-summer months, but we nonetheless got the relevant information, advice, and found a quite decent little boutique hotel, the Carbonika. We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering the old town, seeing the sights, having a nice Greek dinner on the old harbor, watching the sunset, and getting thoroughly and seriously lost in what is a very distinctive and beautiful place.

Approaching Mykonos

Typical Mykonos old town view

Mykonos' "Little Venice"; apparently a scene from one of

the Bourne movies was shot here

Mykonos' signature windmills

It's a beautiful little town with many

distinctive architectural features



OK, polychrome it's not; and you can't tell

people you live in the white house with the

blue trim

Sunset view

Next morning, old harbor

Petros, Mykonos' pelican mascot for more than 50 years;

he's completely accustomed to humans; wanders around the

harbor and fish market every day, getting hand-outs and

getting photographed
