Mykonos Town
by michellebaker
Mykonos was incredibly lovely, we stopped off a cruise ship and the only tours they mention is to Delos! (it seems a bit strange to dock at one island and take a boat to another).
We got off the ship and wandered around Mykonos town. We had a lovely day, and Mykonos was a lovely place to shop. It was lots of little alleys leading off the harbour and meandering up the hill with little shops spilling out onto the streets. There were little cafes with only two or three tables each, sitting on the sides of the alleys in the sunshine, with lots of flowers climbing up the whitewashed buildings. The jewellery shops were great, and interesting though a massive emphasis on the 'Greek Key' design (which meant there was not a lot of unusual stuff).
We stopped at a little bar and as we went in, we went downstairs and sat on the balcony directly over the sea. The bar belonged to the first female Greek ships captain and we were lucky enough to meet here while we were there.
Mykonos is exactly what you envision a Greek island to be, and we had a lovely day. The people were incredibly friendly.

Aroma

Situated at Matogianni it is considered to be the ultimate meeting point at Mykonos night life. The Djs play the best freestyle music warming us up. Also it is an observation point in order to see or to be seen by the famous or the wanna be famous visitors of Mykonos.
Eye opening
by amythomas
Eye opening is probably my first impression of Paradise Beach. I don't know if it is quite 'paradise', but it certainly is a party! I entered the beach from the Paradise Beach Resort and Camping (the eastern end i think. I went up through some stairs and into a club (with disco ball and all!) and a small swimming pool - which a woman, topless was getting out of. A few people were on the day-beds to the side. I walked a bit further and saw the actual beach - umbrella covered and chairs (all for hire at 5 euro). Then i noticed just about man and woman there was either nude or topless! I went to the sand and laid out my towel and got 'dressed' for the part..which in this case was almost wearing nothing at all! I'm not comfortable going nude, but i stripped to a thong and spent the rest of the day like that. Ironically, although everyone was carefree and themselves nude, i felt there was more voyeurism there than a 'normal' beach in Europe. That said, it wasn't uncomfortably so - it's I guess, the same feeling you'd get at a night club.
Mills from the top of the hill

I would not go up the hill just for taking a picture, but my Hostel was up the hill so I took this picture of the mills while going down to the village.
Did I told you that I liked the mills a lot?
