Mykonos, Greece, Day 10, June 28, 2009

Mykonos was the next stop.
Mykonos is said to be the birthplace of the Greek civilization; however, we took off to the beach instead of exploring ancient ruins or museums.


The island is populated with white buildings. Apparently, a plague struck the island over a hundred years ago and white was considered to be sterile and therefore believed to ward off contagious disease. The sand was courser than we see in New Jersey and brown. The water was cool but tolerable.
It was a good rest stop.
