After a day at sea the official second stop of the cruise was Mykonos, Greece. It's somewhere I've wanted to go as looking at pictures it looks so nice and people rave about it. So finally got to see for myself if it's worth the hype.
We got up at 8am and had breakfast in the restaurant which basically had the same stuff as the buffet only you got to sit on a nice table and order stuff off the menu but we got there too late so could only go up and get stuff yourself buffet style - the same food as the buffet but less choice.
We docked at 10am but didn't manage to get off the boat till 11:45am.
A boat had to take us to the port again but it took less than 5 minutes. We then had to pay €5 for a return ticket to take us to the old port. It is walkable but a very long walk and everyone was taking a boat.
It was a lot nicer and sunnier than these pictures are making out but it did go nicer and hotter as the day went on.
It's how you imagine Greece to look like the cobbled narrow streets with the white wash walls.
We just wandered around and ended up trekking up the mountain just to go to a supermarket as that's my parents go to thing when they go on holiday. I mean it is interesting going to supermarkets just to see what they sell and the price of things but not my go to thing. It turns out stuff is expensive which was what we expected.
I got a pork souvlaki gyros for €5 which was nice and filling.
They were filming a TV show or film up by the windmills.
Mykonos is pretty but very small and think is over rated. There isn't much to do. There was a lot of bars and restaurants but other than that there wasn't anything to see or do.
We got back to the ship at 6pm and made it back in time for dinner in the restaurant.
Starter - smoked salmon
Went for the seabass again for main as I didn't like anything else on there
Mykonos was nice but glad I did it on a cruise and not actually stayed there as you would have to take boat trips to other places as there's nothing there to do unless you were going just to chill.
Next stop was meant to be Syros in Greece but the weather was too bad so we ended going to Katakolo in Greece instead.
