Expectations are always funny . I definitely had planned to not like Mykonos . Playground of the Kardashian set..I mean there was a reality show of Lindsay Lohan running a restaurant set here . Once a huge gay playground even they are fleeing to Naxos and Crete . Up to 6 cruise ships dock here a day disgorging thousands of day trippers . I was prepared to hate it … of course I had a fantastic day . Walking through tiny alleyways and paths. Excellent cafes everywhere and even some pretty good shopping

It turned out to be one of those days where you feel unrushed , relaxed and truly on vacation

We got up quite early and walked into town before most things opened. We found a lovely place overlooking the sea for a light breakfast and then strolled through the immaculate streets getting lost but not caring. We stopped for coffee and wine a few times then had a late lunch. It was in many ways a perfect vacation day in a very pretty place
