option. During the months of July and August, the usual peak season, up to 18 flights ply every day, about every 3 hours. Although we regretted not being able to spend time at Syntagma (a must-visit if you’re in Athens!), Mykonos waved its magic wand on us, making us forget all regrets and taking us in its stride. On reaching our room at the hotel Petasos Town, we decided to call it a day and relax with a glass of wine. One thing we realized on this trip was that if the Greeks love their food, they doubly love their drinks and a good dance. It was a pretty blurry night and before we knew it, Mykonos’ morning sun had dawned on us. This place was going to be our base for two days and we did not want to waste a single second. We headed out onto the streets first thing in the morning, strolling through the narrow alleys and exchanging smiles with the very friendly folks.

We had a few memorable days, perfectly etched into our memory. The splendor of this country is unparalleled, magical, and enticing. One does not visit Greece, one lives it
