Here's a glimpse into the port where restaurants, cafes and bars are lined up against the sea. It was pretty refreshing to have an eclectic mix of everything in the city. Blue-domed churches, white building, windmills and oh, they have red-domed churches too here!
On one of the days we were there, we popped over to Elias beach which was incredible. We hadn't heard about it and took the next bus there (the other buses were coming in 20+ minutes), and it was the best decision ever! It was quite a private place with only one restaurant managed by the Elias resort guys. We had a seafood feast and it was amazing!
We then headed straight to the beach and were very pleased that the sunbeds there are cleaner and prettier than the public ones scattered around Mykonos island. The beach was beautiful with crystal clear water, and we spent the whole afternoon just chilling by the beach. We dipped our toes in the sea, sunbathed, sipped some cocktails and listened to the music. It was the most relaxing afternoon we've had in a while, and made for a perfect farewell afternoon.
Walking around the city was my favourite activity in Mykonos. The streets are really pretty with fuchsia flowers adorning the whitewashed walls of the buildings. They make you wanna stop every other meter for a photo - causing a human traffic jam. Yes, it's a thing in the narrow streets of Mykonos.
And this island has a collection of unique things selling all over the old town such as these:
Now in Mykonos there are 2 tourist hotspots that are the "must-see" in Mykonos - firstly the Little Venice - which is a stretch of bars and restaurants whose building is white with colourful window panes, and secondly the Windmills - a row of 5 big ones, like many smaller ones found all over the city.
Now in case you're wondering just how crowded it is in Mykonos in the middle of June, here's the walkway from Little Venice towards the Windmills
