SUNSETS AND BLUE SEAS IN MYKONOS (GREECE)

If you love sunsets and a fresh sea breeze this island is for you…

This has to be one of the most beautiful islands I have ever laid my eyes on, the moment I landed in Mykono’s Greece I was screaming wow. It was around 6.00pm in the evening just in time to see sunset, the colours were unreal oranges to pinks/lilacs the type you see painted to perfection on canvas. We got a taxi to the boutique hotel we were staying at … its location was great as it was about 15 minutes from the airport and it was just up the road from the town centre. I visited the island at the start of its summer season so it was around 20 degrees with high winds they call the island the windy island because there is always wind no matter how warm it is. I recommend carrying a small light scarf & a jumper.

The smell of the fresh sea was incredible. I just felt so free, happy and light whilst on the island. I really fell in love with it and the fact that everything you look at is a clean white buildings or blue seas was surreal (they make sure there’s a fresh white paint on all their building and floors). I also loved that it got dark late so you could walk around and make most of the day until 9pm before you live the nightlife.

Whilst in Mykonos I stayed in a boutique hotel called harmony hotel, located in such an in the town centre but just far out enough away. It is a walking distance and on the plus it is a very cute hotel and its photo friendly (is it just me, sometimes you arrive at a hotel or a holiday accommodation and you think well I won’t be capturing this in any photos hahaa). Also I think because I visited in the month of April it meant the island wasn’t overcrowded meaning peace and quiet.

What do you do on a small island like Mykonos- Eat, swim and explore.

I visited what they call little Venice as the streets wind into small alleys with cute little shops. I fell in love with the small bars with wooden chairs and benches outside. The atmosphere in little Venice was so lovely. Also if you like designer shops there are plenty of those.

I visited the windmills, these were not spectacular but still lovely to see and I feel as if you are on the island you have to see them. These are located on a corner of the island and you can walk or even get quad bikes to the windmills.


Another option is to hire a car and drive around the island and visit some of the islands most beautiful beaches, unfortunately I didn’t have enough days to do so but I enquired and it would have cost 43 euros per day.

The food in town just by the sea was amazing and really fresh. You really got the sense that they were cooking with all their hearts putting in so much effort. The food was definitely reasonably priced costing between 10-15 euros for a good sized meal and breakfast costing 10 euros or less. Overall I thought the local community were so lovely and really welcoming of tourists unlike some popular tourist places you tend to feel some bad energies but not here!

Because it is a very small island you don’t need much time to see all of it and there aren’t many islands but it is so beautiful that you won’t be thinking about activities. It is an island to relax and leisure around slowly, it honestly felt like I had just been dropped off to a retreat I felt so connected to myself and at peace.

If you ever visit have fun and respect the locals because they really take care of the island and remember we are visitors in their home land.

I hope you enjoyed this posted,
