6/15 De Delos


Today we went to the famous Mykonos. We started with a tour of the ruins on a small adjacent island called Delos. Delos is the Mythological birthplace of Apollo and Ardemis but it became a major free trading port in 5th century BC. The most impressive thing about Delos was just how intact it was.

We arrived back on Mykonos just in time for some gorgeous light so we spent some time taking photos. The highlight of dinner was watching the sunset over the water. There was a lot of build up for Mykonos (at least in my head) but it felt like being in Disney world instead of the real place. Everything had smooth, perfectly clean white walls and everywhere you looked there was tourists and shopping.
