Description
'Downtown' Mykonos Town is the main business area along the Old Port of the town. A highway, starting at the New Port, by-passes this town along the hills in the background and leads to the airport, several beaches and resorts, and a few small scattered communities in the interior. Mykonos, the island, is part of the Cyclades and has a land area of 85.5 square kilometers (33.0 square miles) with elevations reaching up to 341 m (1,119-ft).

@Rob2753. Good eyes. She is taking a picture of the rear end of a Pelican. His name is 'Petros' and he has been adopted as the unofficial mascot of the town. He has been there for over 50 years and the story of how he got there varies, depending on who tells the story. If you plan to go back to Greece soon you will probably visit Mykonos and see him in person.
@Faemike55. Mike the island is hilly, with several hills exceeding 300 m in height. It is also dry and windy, and this time of year (summer) pretty warm. Other than that it would be perfect for bike riding.
A very nice shot! I am still amazed that nobody is rebellious enough to have a blue house or a red house. They must have a bad a$$ HOA there.
@Richardphotos. Richard, Mykonos is the most visited Greek island. Since the 1950s it has been a tourist mecca during the summer months. Artists, tourists and the gay community all gravitate to it!
@UVDan. The houses are white to reflect the heat. They also have flat tops because in the past they were used as cisterns to collect rain water. Now the water supply is more assured and comes from other sources, but white white still reflects the heat best.
I sure do love traveling vicariously to Greece through you wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful photo!
Beautiful shot!!!!
A really lovely shot and the boat is an added bonus.
