A fair portion of Greece is comprised of many islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. We had hoped to see several of these islands, but due to being low-season there weren't many ferries moving between the islands, but rather more so to/from the mainland cities. Rather than spend the majority of each day on the boats we elected to spend a few days at just one island and then return to Athens.
The island of choice was Mykonos. This time of year it was quiet and relaxed; which was just fine. It provided an opportunity to enjoy the environment without the typical summer crowds.
A small boy climbs one of many "streets" within the main city on the island, Charo - also called Mykonos Town.
The local people were busy preparing the towns for the upcoming tourist season. The walls were receiving fresh coats of paint as were the streets also. Here I'm standing along a typical passageway through the city (actually many were smaller); very unique in style and decor.
The coastline of Mykonos is a mix of rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. Here is a photo from one of the many beaches. The scene just looks so inviting!! Yes, I'm a beach nut!
Even though the windmills have no canvas, they are still very picturesque as they prominently stand above the city. Here the setting sun brightens the western face of the windmill as it also reflects off the sea.
