Mykonos is known to Greek people as the party island. It's where they go to have a Mardi Gras experience. The main town is a cluster of tiny shops and winding streets and it's easy to get lost, which is part of the fun. The restaurants and hotels are more expensive than other islands, but it it's worth it if you want to experience the islands as the Greeks do. The island of Delos is a short trip away and is an extensive archeological site. But Delos is closed on Mondays, and the excursion boat's last trip out is 11:00 AM. Plan to go early. WARNING: I had booked a ferry ahead of time through GA Ferries to go from Mykonos to Crete. The GA Ferries office was not open from 4 PM until 7:20 PM, and my boat left at 8:00. I spent a panic filled afternoon wondering if I would be able to get my ticket. There are also two ports, Old Port right in the main town and New Port, which is two miles away. Get your tickets early and know at which port your ship will dock.
