Delos, a small island of ruins.
Birthplace of Artemis and Apollo. And home to the coolest rust-colored moss growing on the centuries-old stones.
Lion statues.
As if the ruins weren't enough reason to visit the island, there were also beautiful wildflowers everywhere. That alone would be reason enough to spend a couple hours in Delos.
And lots of snails.
The clicking of lizard toenails on the stones was common. Their heads are the same rust color as the moss.
Amazingly, some of the mosaic floors have survived.
The Cleopatra House had the most detailed statues still standing.
The fabric almost looked like it could start blowing in the wind.
The Theatre.
View from the boat as we left.
Back to Mykonos.
Lunch at Sakis Grill House. The BEST pita. Pork souvlaki.
Gyros. 2 waters & 2 pitas = 7 Euros. Excellent deal.
Butterscotch gelato at Gelarte. The BEST flavor. I want some right now.
Greek coffees, much like Turkish coffees, at Zorba's with Little Venice in the background.
Windmills next to Zorba's, overlooking the sea.
Is there anything cuter than an orange tom cat sleeping in a terra-cotta pot?
Another gorgeous Aegean stray.
Sunset at Kastro Bar in Little Venice with a couple drinks. We couldn't see the sun actually set, but the sky and water were beautiful and the place was romantic, playing an opera.
Panaghia Paraportiani Church.
Dinner at Nikos Taverna. The sea urchin salad was okay, not great. But it looked pretty.
Calamari was decent.
