On our second day in Greece we had to be up before the sun to meet our taxi and take our first ferry ride. We were so stoked we didn’t even care that we had to miss our free hotel breakfast in order to make our Mykonos boat. Besides, we got to see the sun rise!
The ferry was massive and actually quite nice (super comfy seats for those of us with assigned seating…unassigned is a bit of a crazy shitstorm) and we had what I think might have been the best cappuccinos of the whole trip. For the most part it was smooth sailing and thankfully when it wasn’t I had dozed off due to our super early wake-up call.
The trip from the mainland to Mykonos was something like 5 hours, which included three other island stops along the way. We would go stand outside on one of the upper decks and take photos at each port because these were our first glimpses of what we expected Greece to really look like.
Once we got to Mykonos I really felt like we’d arrived! Our super cute hotel was exactly what we had hoped for. White washed with blue trim, facing the water, close to town, and the super friendliest staff.
Each room was actually a bungalow of sorts with it’s own patio. Our patio was huge! Tiffaney was so excited she was bouncing up and down. :)
We immediately headed out to explore. First stop: dipping my toes in the Aegean Sea (it’s freaking cold).
Turns out we were a five minute walk to the windmills, and only another five into Mykonos Town.
Little Venice…
This town ended up being our favourite part of the whole trip. So quintessentially Greek to us, easy to navigate (even though it’s a maze), and fun to explore.
We took ourselves out for a delicious dinner with sparkling wine and made sure to catch our first island sunset right from the privacy of our own patio.
Good thing we had five whole days there. Love.
Amazing shots as usual. :)
