There is no port so we anchored alongside the town. To get ashore, the crew lower tender boats (which double as lifeboats should the need arise) and taxi people to and from the shore. Each boat can hold over 100 people and only takes minutes to get from ship to shore.
Mykonos is the perfect example of a Greek island town. Almost every building and paved path is painted in white and and town is bathed in sun. Mykonos is a windy town and has a feature of many antique windmills around the town. These are a major tourist drawcard and a photographers dream (well, they would be if not surrounded by people taking photos!).
We walked around in the morning and it was pretty warm. We went back to the ship, the tendor ride being fun and quick. After a relaxing swim and some lunch, I went back along on a photographic expedition while Helen stayed behind to relax. I took so many photos as every street is a postcard photo, especially once I found my way away from the shops and got "lost".
In the evening, the ship put on a special Greek buffet by the pool so we could sit and enjoy dinner and watch the sun go down on Mykonos. What a beautiful way to end the day.
