Walking About Mykonos

The town of Mykonos, on the Greek island of the same name, is an intricate maze of interesting walkways, where one is almost bound to get slightly lost, and to enjoy doing so. Hardly a single street is without charms.

Most of the walkways are quite narrow.

Here's another one, with dining tables.

Some of the wider streets allow traffic.

The above truck encountered another vehicle coming in the opposite direction, whose driver very carefully turned off on a side alley to allow passage. Mykonos also has no shortage of stairs.

These steps have their own display window.

Small Orthodox churches are found throughout the town.

This one is well decorated with flags.

Some are stark white and simple in their design.

Save for the pleasant climate, one might think these constructed of snow by Eskimos.

A glimpse inside a Catholic church.

Perhaps the most popular images of Mykonos are of its old windmills.

Here is one standing alone.

There is a section of town referred to as "Little Venice." It has not just the narrow walkways of its namesake, but a row of structures sitting on the water.

Also as in Venice, many people beautify their narrow stone neighborhoods with flowers.

Another flowering of colors.

Even the old and worn sections of town have their charm

A pleasant home with the benefit of shade trees.

And, finally, a reflection of Mykonos, with flowers.
