Children and adults approach it in order to pet it or feed it and there is no lack of tourists to photograph it.
It is also a typical feature of Mykonos life, another warm memory from the magic white island. Leave a Comment

The atmosphere was great and it was wonderful to watch people laughing and having a good time. I was tempted to join them but was too shy :-) Leave a Comment

If you visit Mykonos during easter time you will have an opportunity to see the locals doing something that has nothing to do with tourism! lol Easter Sunday called Pascha in greek and it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. It’s very important for the orthodox not only that day but the whole Easter season that lasts 40 days but in ourdays most of the people pay attention for one week (the week before easter Sunday when the schools are closed). It’s a movable public holiday and most of the times it’s on April. Most of the greek families in mainland wait for that day because of the famous traditional custom of eating roasted lamb. In Cyclades islands that wasn’t a local custom but I noticed that some restaurants in Mykonos done it on the beach for the tourists!! Although the majority celebrates it as a non religion day Easter is the most important festival of orthodox church (more than Christmas etc)
In Mykonos on great and holy Friday the local women are on the streets around 21:00 singing some gospel songs and it’s nice to watch the ceremony even if you are not a believer. The small alleys of Chora was really packed with people following them from the one chapel to the other. On great and holy Saturday it will be nice for you to be near a church. You will see all light in the church go down around 23:30 and a new flame will come from the priest (supposed to be from Jerusalem) and he will give light to the candles of the believers that wait outside holding candles. Then the priest reenters the church and sings the divine liturgy until 2am. From my experience almost everyone is going back home at 00:30 to have the traditional meal! :) And of course everyone is waiting the day after for the lambs! I hope you are not a vegetarian visiting Greece that day! lol

 Hora dog by chrissyalex
It must be working to some degree because there didn't seem ( to me) to be as many strays ( especially dogs) as in other places.
The dog pictured on the left did not appear to me to be a stray. He seems rather chubby and a little long in the tooth! :-) Leave a Comment
