The ferry to Mykonos was pleasant in calm seas. Our hotel was a short walk to the charming harbor.
The name " Jackie O. " is intertwined with Mykonos. Jackie Onas- sis is the individual behind the massive tourism of Mykonos—it is be- lieved that her visit to the island in the 60s made its beauty known to the world with other appearances from celebrities following. It seems to be as popular now. Restaurants and bars line the promenade. We walked a few blocks inland to Nico’s Taverna where I enjoyed the best grilled octopus ever! Unfortunately, the island’s popularity belit- tles its charms on occasion. During our last two days on the island, we were blocked by two cruise ships in port. We could not walk to town until the passengers returned to port after the 7 p.m. curfew. Our next ferry was to Naxos , a larger and more rural island. Our guide met us at the ferry exit for a short drive to Galaxy Hotel . Our room over- looked the Aegean Sea and the beach was a two-minute stroll. After the fast-paced vibes of our previous three locations, Naxos was a relaxing and welcome respite. Small, isolated villages and driving on deserted mountain roads were the perfect culmination of our Greek adventure.
