Mykonos is like Santorini's younger and hipper sibling. Whatever Mykonos lacks in sunset views it makes up for its beaches and the party vibe to lure the monied and the beautiful and also us - the commoners.
Our trip to the island of Delos to get a dose of archeology and history was a bonus!
Santorini for me was blue skies, island landscape, white on white houses, turquoise water and the sunshine.
After this trip, Santorini is just pure magical beauty where time stands still.
I had been told before to skip Athens or give it only a day when traveling to Greece.
Mijo and I were skeptical about this suggestion and we wanted to give Athens a chance. We were rewarded by our decision and the longer we stayed in the city the more we loved it.
