Get me to the Greek….

Up and in the taxi back to Rome by 4.30 am to catch a flight to Mykonos. Still so dark and Positano still sound asleep – felt like sneaking out of a lovers bed (I imagine 🙃).  The trip was estimated to  be 4 hours but with the help of our VERY enthusiastic driver (Him stopped looking when the speedo was hovering around 140 km/Hhr) and still slumbering cities, make it to Naples in less than 45  minutes and back to Rome in just under three hours total trip.  The massive toll gates were a sight with armed guards at each check point.

Scary easy to board our flight (booked via the Internet for $35 each 8 weeks ago on An airline we had never heard of) and we literally walked off the plane into lovely Mykonos heat.  How great !  Apparently when you book a driver you need to give them the right day 😁 – but being me and knowing I had booked it after an extracted dinner (wine + day before + too lazy to get glasses as 10 steps away), found on rechecking email had booked for 31st… TOMORROW. Rang the shuttle company  – assured me was not a problem and would have someone there shortly – five minutes later Nontas arrives and packs us in air conditioned comfort to be  ferried to our hotel.  Whoa – left other weary, hot travellers in our wake – again, totally lucked out.  Arrived at Lefko Suites 😝

Settled in, couple of “can’t believe we are in Mykonos” cocktails, swim and head down to Mykonos  town and little Venice.  Sit in “Kostas” for a drink and front row seat for sunset viewing

Onto little Venice – so loving the twilight 😍

There seems to be little chapels everywhere – was talking to the driver about it and he laughed and told us it primarily is because after three years if a church being in use it can apply for a power connection free of charge.  One point for Greek ingenuity – minus one for romanticism lost !

Another Sublime dinner and stroll back to the taxi stand
