As promised not too long ago, I am dedicating one post to my
visit to Mikonos at the end of August. I was not sure what to expect when we
decided to go to Mykonos. I have heard
some mixed reviews but what really influenced us to go there specifically was
my husband’s friend Yiannis, born Mykonian, who invited us to visit him there. Who
in their right mind would refuse to visit such a beautiful place especially
when you have the privilege of having a friend born there that can show you
around and give you a full story behind everything: churches, architecture, party life, and so on.
And it was worth the trip.

| Gorgeous Psarou Beach
You have so many beaches to go to, and they vary from family
friendly to party beaches. Every single one is absolutely gorgeous. Psarou beach
should be family friendly beach, but I gotta say I saw quite a bit of nudists
there. Granted they stayed at the end of the beach where there are no chairs. Paradise beach is known for its parties, day
and night, so I expected it there, but I guess not J. I visited most of the
beaches but the biggest treat for me was when Yiannis took us our last day, to
a secluded little beach, not very known to tourists. There are no hotels, no bars,
not even a path to get down to the beach. There is not any signage on the road
how to get to it. You have to hop down steep rocks to get to it but it is
absolutely amazing.

| Gorgeous town of Mykonos
We stayed in private little hotel Penelope’s located in the
town of Mykonos, overlooking the picturesque old inner harbor. Waking up to
this view every morning was amazing. We enjoyed our breakfast every day on a
scenic terrace and late afternoon refreshment on the beautiful private balcony
in our room. This hotel is the perfect combination of location and comfort and is
definitely very affordable. You are in the town of Mykonos in 2 minute walk, just hop a few stairs down. Mykonos is in hills so you don't want to be too high up that you have to climb stairs for a long time in the heat or while drunk :), unless that is you want to keep in shape. But on a serious note, you are better off staying in a place like this and being able to walk back to your room in minutes and not have to worry about riding your moped under the influence at night (or day). If you do get a chance to go, I highly recommend you visit this hotel. The owner Ana is absolutely amazing and the staff is friendly. The hotel and the rooms are kept immaculately clean. And breakfast is fresh every morning. Don't forget the view!

Mykonos has a fun night life. There is something for everyone;
however what I enjoyed most was walking its beautiful narrow streets. The town
is gorgeous during the day but even more so at night, under its street lights
and those of the little shops that line these streets. I caught myself several
times getting a feeling that I was asleep and in a beautiful dream. Amazing place for a romantic getaway as well
as a fun vacation with friends. Mykonos
will definitely see me again, maybe sooner rather than later. Ciao!
