The Trip: I arrived on Mykonos island by Plane and Boat with Lufthansa and Sea Jet 2. The trip was very good with no delays. Definitely worth getting the speed boats as they are reliable. The slower ferries are always delayed!
Reasons for going to Mykonos: Recommended by friends
Idea about Mykonos before arriving: Thought it was going to be an over-touristed tacky resort with clubs and bars lining the beaches and towns. Never expected it to be a beautiful, fairly unspoilt island!
Mykonos Town is gorgeous and well worth visiting for it's jewelery and clothes shops alone. Lots of designer wear and many fantastic restaurants to suit all wallets. Bars in Little Venice are particularly nice
