MYKONOS & SANTORINI - GREECE

The Cyclades represent the quintessential Greek island image with small sugar-cube houses spilling down gentle slopes interspersed by blue church domes. Mykonos is the home to many rich and famous jet setters. While Mykonos’ narrow streets all lead downhill to the central fishing port with its signature wind mills and open air cafes; Santorini’s city center, Fira, is perched atop the rim of an active volcano. Santorini used to be circular, but a massive volcanic explosion 3500 years ago blew out the center of the island leaving a breathtaking crescent harbor entrance. Adventuresome families love riding a donkey to the top while more mature cruisers choose the funicular cable car. No matter how you arrive in the town center, you will be fascinated by houses and hotels dug into the cliff’s edge with colorful flower-filled patios. Beside its compelling view, Fira has a not-to-be-missed museum of regional Minoan antiquities.
