Wonderful, wonderful Mykonos After two nights in Athens it was time for Mykonos. It lives up to its reputation as a picture-postcard, happening place, helped by perfect weather.

Carl on the early-morning ferry from Piraeus Piraeus is a really busy port The boat stopped at Syros on the way to Mykonos. That's me admiring the view. Hotel Hermes, where we stayed on Mykonos At the foot of the steps to our room (Mykonos has plenty of steps!) A balcony moment for Carl The hotel pool deck Carl on the breakast terrace The view from our hotel balcony Balcony view no. 2 Balcony view no. 3 Mykonos port from our balcony Our first sunset on Mykonos A chapel roof near the hotel The pathway to the town. Going down was easy. Back up was a different story. Petros the Pelikan hung out here. He proved camera-shy.
