(Since wifi is not available on board the ship and our time in some ports is limited, blog posts from the cruise may be delayed by several days.)
Today began with a short drive to the port of Piraeus, where we boarded the
Louis "Olympia" for our four night cruise to some of Greece's most famous islands. After settling into our cabins, we all took advantage of the ship's many activities while we sailed towards Mykonos. We arrived in the early evening and enjoyed a stroll through town. Just as we arrived, the sun was setting behind some high clouds, so there wasn't much time to admire the iconic windmills of Mykonos. However, the twilight and the lights from the shops of town lent a warm glow to this charming town of whitewashed buildings and narrow streets.
One thing we have noticed throughout Greece is the abundance of stray cats and dogs in each city and Mykonos didn't disappoint. I think that the cats have it better in the seaside towns than the dogs - there's no shortage of fresh fish.
