Athens&Mykonos

Hello, my dear friends! As I promised you will know more about my trip that was in the middle of October and it was one of the most interesting and the longest trip I ever had! First of all, I'll start with Athens - the city with palm trees and charming Greek architecture. I was there for 3 days and as a matter of fact I think that this city was worth a longer stay. But we chose to stay longer in Mykonos and just wander a little in a capital city of Greece where our plane landed. About the flight - It was amazing! We were so lucky that during the whole flight the sky was clear so we saw almost everything. When we have reached the Greece, I saw from my plane window islands, mountains, clear water and the ships - I was extremely happy to see it so I took my camera to take a picture of this fantastic view.

So what we did for those 3 days? As expected we went to visit Acropolis but to be honest with you, I'm not a big fan of Greek history so I enjoyed the views more than Acropolis itself. And again, we were so lucky with the weather! I was wearing my special skirt for this Greece trip though it was October - crazy right?

Without Acropolis I really enjoyed Greece park with huge palm trees, turtles and other interesting nature plants. It was a pleasure to be lost in nature and escape the busy city.

And to complete Athens series, there was so many amazing spots where we just wandered around.

What I enjoyed the most about this city? That the extremely powerful nature was mixed up with big city life and historical architecture - it was nothing like other European cities I've been to. Maybe this mix is not for everyone but for me it felt amazing.

Okay, now I think it's time to talk about Mykonos where we were for - 10 days! Yes, we were crazy :D But before that, the trip with ferry to Mykonos from Athens was just breathtaking with sunrise and island views but.. scary as well because it waved so hard all the time and my friend who traveled with me felt really horrible because of sea sickeness. When we finally were close to island, we saw two others were we stopped - it was nice experience to see other islands from our ferry. But unfortunately it was crazy windy and that's how our time in island started...

Talking about Mykonos what shocked us the most - prices. It is very expensive island and locals told us that it's one of the most costly island in Greece. So don't be fooled before traveling here. Also there are so many Americans that sometimes you feel like you're somewhere in America haha (which is not bad in fact). Also I was really upset how local people treat tourists. Maybe it's because they were tired of Summer season or they hate tourists but they don't look like they want to serve you. But it was just first experience, later I saw more friendly people who smiled and talked more friendly. The main good part was the beauty of town - every corner was super stunning! And with a lot of cats,so if you are a fan of cats - Mykonos is waiting for you :D

Because we were staying for a long time we visited a lot of great places - check Sun bar 180 - amazing atmosphere and panorama. I highly recommend to visit this place before sunset!

Also we rented a quad which was the best decision to see more of island. We were able to climb up the mountains, see more wild sides of Mykonos for example wild sea and cliffs - I really recommend to do it if you more a nature person and stay for a longer time in Mykonos than a few days.

By the way, you will be surprised with so many churches and beaches! We were in Paradise beach and Super paradise beach :D yep, they named it like that but I didn't saw any difference

Now last but not least - my favorite picture we took while we made a little photoshoot early in the morning in Mykonos. This church was one of our favorite because of the beauty and I felt so free and alive while walking barefoot around this church. Those moments are the most magical.

That's it for this time! I hope you liked to watch photos and read the blog. We've been there for a long time and we did so many amazing things so it's not so easy to put everything here but I expect that it was an informative blog post. Let's wander together in Greece which is a Queen of historical architecture and exotic islands.
