Mykonos and Paros

The island hopping adventure continues! Thursday Journey to Greece students docked at Mykonos and immediately hopped onto a ferry to Delos where easyCruise had a set up a private tour of the archeological site. For most, this was a difficult endeavor due to the early departure time of the ferry from Mykonos (10:30 AM); most of the students had to be rolled out of bed but woke up on the rocky boat ride over to Delos. Upon arrival the students were welcomed by their tour guide who promptly escorted the group into the site; the first stop were the aqueducts followed by an upscale Delian mansion with its own mosaic and marble floors. The most amazing part of the island, though, was the summit of the “mountain”. Only a few students made it to the top, but the view was worth the climb. A panoramic view of the entire island greeted the weary climbers and provided a perfect background for pictures; the wind at the summit was blowing so strongly that students could lean forward and not fall. Friday Journey students entered the port at Paros. EasyCruise Life dropped anchor just outside the docks and the Journey students took small boats into the town. Most of the students hit Naoussa beach, went swimming, and sat out in the sun. After the sun began to set, all of the Journey students migrated back to the boat and the internet café in order to prepare for their arrival in Athens.
