Mykonos is dotted with stores and narrow streets. It is a very quaint shopping area. We did not arrange any tours on this stop. We just explored and shopped which was a good choice. We roamed the narrow streets of stores. We even got lost and asked for directions ... narrow streets, many little shops swirling around back and forth and each street looked the same! We tried to re-track our steps but thanks to a kind Mykonos shop keeper we were able to find our way back to our port.
We bought jewelry here and they were willing to bargain because this was the end of their tourist season. Keep that in mind because not many places were willing to bargain on this trip. Shop keepers were friendly and had so many great products and bargains. I bought a silver and gold ring that had the Greek symbol. I believe it means harmony. It is classic and I love it and I loved Mykonos too...as I did each stop!!

Mykonos...dotted with shops and homes
Mykonos was thought of as a place for the rich and had an exciting nightlife in the 1960's and 70's. Historically, Mykonos is the neighboring island of Delos which in mythology was the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, his twin sister. On Delos one can see the vast ruins of three temples which were consecrated to the Sun God and the "famed Lions Walk". We were only on Mykonos so I can't say what the other islands would be like. BUT the shopping was fabulous and you could negotiate which was not the norm on this trip. |
