Day 5 Mykonos

Today’s adventure was The Mykonos Delos Rhenia Cruise which left Mykonos with about 22 passengers at 9 30 and returned at 4pm. The day included an hour long stop at the island of Delos.
Delos is a Greek archaeological site. The mythological birthplace of Apollo, it was a major religious center and port during the 1st millennium B.C. The island's ruins encompass Doric temples, markets, an amphitheater, houses with mosaics and the iconic Terrace of the Lions statues. The Archaeological Museum displays statues excavated from the site. The trip also included swimming in the Mediterranean off the back of the boat (far too cold and deep for me) and a bbq lunch on board. The water was a little choppy out in the open sea but very calm in the bays. Such a warm relaxing day and also some nice company from two American families. Arrived back for a rest and then wandered into town for a delicious Greek meal including cheese pie. We then sat on the beach with hundreds of people all fighting for a spot to see the sunset. Just beautiful.Read more
