情定愛琴海 6- Mykonos

Recap of May 15, 2005

工作快到尾聲, 月尾要回法國,  Syros已被玩盡, 與泰狄熊把握住機會到其它島玩, 

我倆各自來過米基洛克島和 Santorini, 和另一半把臂同遊希臘最靚的小白屋島，

是我一向的心願,

N年前第一次來時是單身，心情興奮，不但陽光普照， 天氣一流，當年相映得好靚,

今次身邊有泰狄熊，奈何冇陽光，天陰陰，白濛濛的，有點失望 !!

 

我倆一早 check 定船期, 由 Syros 去 Mykonos沒有直航服務, 先要乘船到 Paros,

再轉船到 Mykonos, 所以花去不少埋岸時間, 去到米基洛克島已接近中午,

我們基本上已到過島另一邊的海灘, 沒興趣再去消磨時間, 天體海灘不外如是

反而對旁邊的小島 Delos好有興趣, 那兒是希臘人種神話中的重要地點,

所以在小威尼斯吃過飯後我們過了Delos。

由碼頭向小威尼斯出發, 找間餐廳醫肚

碼頭旁邊的小船飯依舊掛住八爪魚

唐鵝仍是地膽, 極吸引遊人

由 Delos 回來, 仍有個多小時才有船返回Syros, 於是再入小巷





再走過白屋群內小巷, 由於仍未 到旺季, 窄窄小巷內沒迫滿人, 當地人在番新房子,

不少人把外牆再上油, 我們沒有溜漣紀念品店, 因為這兒物價是全希臘之冠,

而且在與 Syros 看到的差不多, 只是把 Syros 改作 Mykoknos而已, 沒有進貢!

Mykonos is best-known as a jetset playground, ultimate tourist and party island, gay set refuge, and rock star hangout. What is sometimes neglected is the fact that there are good reasons why Mykonos has become so popular, and it's not just the trademark windmills. It is a beautiful island, centrally located, with a charming capital "city" of narrow lanes, trendy shops, family chapels, and bakeries. Good beaches abound, including many only reachable by boat. The harbor shelters cruise ships as well as yachts and small craft who make the island a regular stop.
Mykonos , like some island version of the Demeter-Persephone myth, only comes alive in spring and summer. By late fall, the winds and rough waters send most of the merchants back home to mainland Greece, leaving the island to the locals. While some visitors still make the journey, Mykonos becomes more of an island for those in search of solitude, not the hot nightlife.
Once back on Mykonos, pay a visit to the Arch. Museum of Mykonos, which boasts an excellent collection of early Greek pottery, as well as remains from the transplanted tombs of the island of Rhenia , where the gravesites from Delos were moved in antiquity, to "cleanse" the island. You will also want to vist the Agricultural Museum housed in one of the windmills.
Travel on Mykonos is by moped and bus, or by car in the less-developed areas of the island. The buses are easy to use and run until at least midnight. T-shirt collectors will probably want to visit Mykonos versions of both the Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood.
Mykonos has a small airport, is visited regularly by the cruise ships, and enjoys hydrofoil and other by-sea connections. A slightly out-of-town alternative to the capital is Ornos Beach , a few miles from the capital
