Delos - Mykonos

Day two started with a buffet breakfast, followed by a visit to Delos: this sacred island is the mythological birthplace of Apollo, the Greek God. The island is only reachable by small boats or tenders, which we boarded on from out ship. The visit lasted for a couple of hours, and then it was time for lunch and getting ready for the afternoon and evening highlight: the cosmopolitan island of Mykonos. Known as the “island of the wind”, due to the strong winds blown from the north, the first image that comes to mind to most people when they think about this island is the red and orange colors of sunset by the water, marked by the famous windmills. The main town, Chora (as most of the main towns are called in the Greek islands) is a lively, labyrinth like place, which can be hectic during high season months and its famous for its nightlife and its cozy restaurants by the water. We chose to have food on the go and keep exploring, until it was time to catch the last transfer boat to where our ship had docked earlier that day.
