Bye-bye Greece & Ciao Italia!

Overall my summer trip to the Aegean islands in Greece was a remarkable one... It was really satisfying... I would rate it 5 out of 5. We spent 8 days there. At first I thought that duration would be too long... but it turned out to be just nice! Not realizing it, I took thousands of pictures there alone! It shows how much I like the islands, and how picturesque they have been.

There were so much activities we've managed to take on while on the islands - from fishing to coffee hunting on ATVs. During the last day, we decided to only spend the day by the hotel pool, to enjoy the magnificent view of the islands from the hill where the hotel was located.

Flight out to Athens was at 11AM. From there, we took another flight to Italy! It's bye-bye Greece & Ciao Italia! Enjoy the pictures below!

Mykonos windmills

Lone windmill

Built by the Venetians in the 16th century and till the early 20th century, they were used to grind wheat but now, some of them have been turned into jewellery shops and pubs. Today, there are 16 windmills on Mykonos which remain the trademark of this island. It's to Mykonos what Eiffel is, to Paris...


Main windmills

I love the fact that they can be seen from every point of the Chora, and they happen to be the first things you see when your ship sail into the harbour... Fortunately, our hotel was just next to the main windmills - six of them, situated on a hill overlooking the Aegean and Little Venice.... They were huge! Here are some pictures of them!(taken on my Olympus E510)
