Miss M and I are on what is certainly the most beautiful island in the world! I can’t take my eyes off the caldera. This place is impossibly gorgeous.. here are some pictures from my iPhone:

The next stop

I’m on my way to Santorini on a huge catamaran. These babies get around fast! Am a little sad to be leaving Mykonos as I’ve had an amazing time there and have just gotten to know the little winding streets of Chora well enough to know exactly where I’m going.. after being constantly lost for two days! I’m in love with Cycladic architecture and the beautiful churches that are everywhere on the island. The views around every corner are breathtaking and there are a lot of good things to be said of the locals and Greek hospitality in general. I have met so many by chance and their kindness and generosity have given me a lot to think about. I think living in the city for so long makes a person cynical and I’m glad to be here, away from life I know and love, if only for a short time. And now Santorini awaits. Miss M gets there in the morning and I am super excited to be exploring this amazing place with her!

Mykonos

I’m staying in a quaint little beach bungalow at Megali Ammos that faces the sea. The views are stunning and so is the food! I love the local tavernas on the beach.. I had the most amazing shrimp saganaki and grilled calamari for lunch.

Today I realised that the islands of Greece are those places that look better in person than in any picture you will see. Photos do no justice. I’m already in love, and I’ve yet to visit Santorini. The weather has been amazing thus far and this is the sunset from my balcony..

It made me think.. I need a balcony back home!
