About This Stop

Our last stop brought us to the enchanting island of Mykonos, where our family once again chose to experience this iconic Greek destination through different adventures that allowed each group to discover their own perfect way to conclude our Mediterranean cruise. This final island visit provided the ideal combination of exploration, relaxation, and authentic Greek cuisine that created the perfect ending to our island-hopping journey.

Aubrey decided to take another tour, this time accompanied by Andrew and the girls, who were eager to explore more of what Mykonos had to offer beyond its famous beaches and nightlife. Their guided adventure allowed them to discover the island's rich history, traditional architecture, and cultural treasures while enjoying the company of fellow travelers and professional insights into this legendary Cycladic destination that has captivated visitors for generations.

Grandpa and Tyler, having thoroughly enjoyed their previous boat tour experience in Santorini, chose to embark on another maritime adventure that would give them a unique perspective on Mykonos from the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. This boat tour provided them with spectacular views of the island's famous windmills, pristine beaches, and dramatic coastline while allowing them to appreciate the same azure waters that have made Mykonos a destination for sailors and travelers since ancient times.

Meanwhile, Bryan (dad) opted for a more independent and culinary-focused approach to experiencing Mykonos, choosing to walk into town where he could explore at his own pace and discover the authentic local dining scene. His solo adventure led him to one of the most memorable meals of the entire trip when he found the perfect beachside restaurant where he could enjoy both the stunning coastal scenery and exceptional Greek cuisine.

Bryan's awesome lunch on the beach became a highlight that perfectly captured the essence of Greek island dining. He indulged in an authentic Greek gyro—eating a genuine Greek gyro in Greece itself, which added an extra layer of authenticity and satisfaction to the experience. The meal was elevated by perfectly prepared curly fries and traditional tzatziki sauce that provided the ideal accompaniment to the seasoned meat and fresh vegetables wrapped in warm pita bread. Sitting on the beach while savoring these flavors, with the Mediterranean breeze and the sound of gentle waves creating the perfect ambiance, Bryan experienced one of those travel moments that reminded him why exploring local cuisine is often the best way to connect with a destination.

This final Greek island adventure on Mykonos provided our family with the perfect conclusion to our Mediterranean cruise, offering each of us the opportunity to experience the magic of the Greek islands in our own preferred way while creating individual memories that would later be shared and treasured as part of our collective journey through some of the most beautiful and historically significant destinations in the world.
