After an amazing 4 days in Santorini, we flew to Mykonos on Aegean. During the summer you can take a ferry between the islands but since we went a bit off season we had to fly.
Day ONE.
We stayed at Bill & Coo with the most amazing staff because it was the last weekend of the season. We even got a beautiful blanket for being the last guests of the season!
Here we rented a small Fiat 500 from a local rental company through our hotel. Mykonos is a larger island than Santorini so we were happy we rented a car but the roads were very narrow similar to Santorini. Our hotel was not in town, it was about a 5-10 minute walk but you can read more in our Where to Stay in Mykonos post.
We loved walking through the old town of Mykonos, we got lunch in the old port area. This is where the ferries come in during the summer.
Lots of different options by the water and we ended up going to Kazarma because it had the most people but the food was just OK. Check out our Where to Eat in Mykonos post.
We explored the windmills and walked to the top of the town for more windmills.
Day TWO.
We rented a car just for the day and drove around the island, we stopped by Cavo Paradiso.
The weekend before was the last party and the evidence was everywhere!
A must visit when in Mykonos is this tiny tiki hut called Kikis, the food and atmosphere is absolutely amazing! We went with a couple that we had met on the Santorini Yacht Sailing tour.
We drove around to different beaches and Ross even went for a swim! I was too cold!
Day THREE.
On our last day, which was also Bill & Coo’s last day of the season the hotel staff kept on bringing more and more food out. I definitely wasn’t complaining!!
After the amazing breakfast, we walked around the old town. We loved all the white washed walls and doors in different shades of blue.
We even ran into a local celebrity! Petros the Pelican!
Our stay in Mykonos was amazing, we cannot wait to return to check out some other islands.
Some of the islands that are on our list are:
- Milos
- Crete
Let us know about your experiences in Greece!
