Wanderlust Livin' Cami: Mykonos & Chill

This famous Greek island is nothing short of breathtaking Mediterranean Sea views, white washed walls with various blue hues chasing the ever so windy streets. When you think of Greek mythology, I imagine the Greek Gods used these islands as their private getaways.
Like, let me just go chill on my beach in Mykonos for an afternoon.

Mykonos, Greece

I traveled here NOT during the peak party season (total bummer), but that didn't hinder my Mykonos experience. I hiked, got a tan, ate gyros, enjoyed ~~a day~~ everyday at the beach, went out with the locals, ate more gyros, hung out with a pink pelican, and enjoyed all the stunning views this little Greek island had to offer.

Megali Ammos Bay

I didn't come for the history, or a romantic getaway, I came simply for the beach, and that is exactly what I got. After a month and a half of being in cold, dreary Europe, this Texas girl needed her sunshine, and to get her tan on!

Psarou Beach

Greek cuisine was all that I had imagined and more...my heart still skips a beat when I think about the fresh Feta cheese. The Gyros are everywhere, and you can get it in a pita form, or the platter, and if you want more bang for your buck ALWAYS go for the platter. Portions in Mykonos are rather large, which isn't so nice for a girl trying to shimmy her way into a bikini after being in Italy for a month with pizza & pasta, or should I say carbs & more carbs.

Traditional Greek Salad...that Feta cheese though

If you visit the beautiful windmills of Mykonos, you will think your eyes are playing tricks on you. No, your eyes are fine, and yes that is a pink pelican hanging around. I named him Hank (but his actual name is Peter, but that is boring) so if you ever visit Mykonos tell Hank I said hi!

Now back to the windmills. You rarely see a photo of Mykonos without it featuring the windmills, and once you see them in person you will see what all the fuss is about. Seriously they are absolutely stunning in their old glory, dating back to the 16th century, while overlooking the waterfront, and just have a whole romantic vibe surrounding them.

Parties all day...Parties all night...No parties for Cami this trip. However, my first night I went to a locals bar called 'Scandinavian Bar' where they were having a costume party. Yes, a costume party in February, and I had a blast! When in Greece right?
