The second island that we visited on our four island excursion in Greece was the island of Mykonos. Our stay at the Mykonos Grand was relaxed and luxurious; the resort is beautiful and the staff was great, we were well taken care of.
Typical buildings faced in crisp white stucco nestle among the rugged stone hillsides creating a juxtaposed effect. Everywhere you look out from the resort you see the beautiful Agean Sea water, a breathtaking mixture of turquoise blues and greens.

| We enjoyed a massage by the sea :: so relaxing. |
 |
| The view from our balcony was the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset and a glass of wine each night. |
We rented a car and explored the island from end to end. On one rugged hillside we parked the car and walked up the ridge to explore. Small churches are everywhere in Greece :: on the hillsides and on home properties.
The Town of Chora is a popular tourist spot on Mykonos. The harbour sits at the base of Little Venice and provides direct access for cruise tenures and hydrofoil boats to dock. The narrow streets form a labyrinth where shops and beautiful architecture is waiting for the throngs of tourists to probe.

The best restaurant in Mykonos.........
Katrin's.
The restaurant features a generous selection of appetizers that is longer than most main menus; fresh fish dishes are a specialty and the scrumptious desserts are not to me missed. We were introduced to new and wonderful wines each of the three nights we visited. By the end of our stay we were greeted like family and knew it is a spot that we will always yearn to visit again.
