Today went to two islands Mykonos and Delos. Came in close to port in Mykonos took a short boat ride ashore. The island had lots of tourist. Tightly packed houses and bulidings. A maze of alleyways connects everything together. The village was very near and pristine with all the white bulidings. The design of the buildings is covered by Greek law. The sun was really bright and about 90 degrees. However very dry and a strong North wind made the day pleasant. We took a tour over to the island of Delos. This was once a big commercial city in the days of ancient Greece through the times of the Romans. Spent a good amount of time with tour guide walking through the ruins. A day of fascinating ancient history.
Morning the ship arrives at Mykonos. A place made popular by Jackie O. Back in the day.
The shore line tiny rock road shared by people and small trucks.
More Mykonos.
The island of Delos and the remains of a once thriving city. They even had piped water. There were stores and temples for many gods. And today a lot of fetal cats for mice patrol.
Well that is all for this entry, tomorrow on to Athenes!!
