Greek Cruise Day 1 ( Athens and Mykonos)


We arrived in Athens in the late afternoon and thanks to a nice lady at the airport train station we were able to figure out our way to the hotel. That night we met our tour group and then went to an authentic Greek restaurant complete with dancers and music. The food was good the dancing was interesting to say the least.
The next day we boarded the ship and began our trip to Mykonos. We came to port at night fall. Evidently its the gay capitol of Greece and probably of all Europe, although you really couldn't tell since it was the end of season. On the island of Contiki tour guide gave us an illegal tour of the sites. I guess it is illegal to give unlicensed tours in Greece, and you have to be Greek to get a license, our tour guide was from Australia. Basically all we did on this island is walk around the shops in the narrow white-washed walkways and snapped photos. Anyways here they are enjoy!
