Mykonos, Greece is an island about the size of Alabama. It's white buildings contrast with the dazzling blue of the sky and sea.
To protect themselves from pirate invasions the town and harbor was built compactly. The winding maze of streets was designed to confuse invaders and it also serves to break the effect of the winds coming in from the Aegean.
Few of the windmills still exist.
Petros, the pelican is their mascot.
Everywhere I looked seemed like a picture postcard.
Our ship was here from 9am-2pm. A little longer would have been nice but we
walked around and shopped and really enjoyed our time here. Tomorrow we will
have a very full day in Istanbul,Turkey.
