Another warm day, another windy day. Mid morning we ventured down the hill to the beach close to us. We didn't go where all the litter was, we moved around the point a little. Here we found a secluded spot which was well maintained & had a quick swim as there was no shade to protect us. After a nice splash around we went north west to explore the beach of Panormos but this was pretty crowded so didnt even get out of the car. We continued through some laneways...

Probably our warmest day in Mykonos today, a nice 27 degs. We headed to Elia beach on the south of the island. It was only 11.30am but had already reached it's maximum temp. We went for a refreshing swim for 20 mins or so but then decided to move on. Most of the beaches have bars with sun lounges & big straw umbrellas set up. These guys wanted €5 for each bed & we didn't really want to pay that. There was no other shade around so we jumped in the car &a...

It was another windy night but this time in Mykonos. We headed off about 10.30am from our apartment & made our way into Chora. It was yet again sunny with a bit of wind blowing throughout the day. We first headed down to the new port to see the largest ocean liner we have ever seen. It was friggin huge! A floating city. Then it was into town. Our order of business was to book our tickets to Athens on the ferry for 5 days time. With that done we wandered back...

When morning hit we had a pretty full schedule. Our car is only a Hyundai Getz so fitting all our luggage & 4 people in was not going to happen, even with all my Tetris skills. So first load was luggage & Tony, then it was back for the girls. I have also spent a lot of time ...

Our final day on Paros would be just like the last few, nice & relaxed. Another sleep in followed by a casual breakfast. As the sun had risen high in the sky & 2pm had ticked over we headed off inland to the ancient marble mines. It was a quick look as the heat was starting to hit so we took a photo then headed further inland to the town of Lefkes. We wandered through the maze of alleys enjoying a town not really touched by tourism. It was a nice experien...
