Our ferry ride from Santorini to Mykonos island was about two and half hours. When we met our Gate 1 Tour guide at the port in Mykonos he said our hotel was overbooked and we have been upgraded. First I was disappointed because the hotel I had chosen was very close to downtown and the hotel we ended up was near a beach and a bus ride from downtown. However, when we got to our hotel it was beautiful and we were treated very well.

We ended up asking the hotel where we should go eat that night for dinner. They suggested eating at a local Greek restaurant. So we walked down to the beach. I did have to ask two people on the street to find the restaurant. When we did find it, I ordered a glass of wine. The waiter asked "Half or Full?" so I said "Full" thinking why would I want a half of glass of wine. He then brought me a full liter of wine in this red pitcher. Januck had a good laugh! We ordered Souvlaki, which is like Japanese Yakitori or Kebabs. It was very good but way too much meat. |
We went back to the hotel after dinner and I asked the receptionist if we could still take a swim in the pool right outside our room even though the Pool sign said until 6 p.m. They said the rules don't really apply so to go ahead and take a swim. We did and really enjoyed it!
