Postcard Greece Part 2 ~ Mykonos

Mykonos is gorgeous and fun, filled with wonderful restaurants, great people-watching and good shopping.

Our hotel, the Santa Marina is the perfect combo of luxury, family and cool...

We ate Tsatziki EVERY DAY at lunch (a yogurt and cucumber dip)...while we listened to groovy, loungy, cool music.

Between bites, I shazamed: My Baby Left Me by Rox
We Got Love by Tom Jones
Breakfast in Bed by Detroit Grand
And I Love Him by LTJ Experience
I Was Made…Loving You by Maria Mena
Empire State by Purple Avenue
Move On Up by Richard Elliot
La Vie en Rose by Grace Jones
Girl From Ipanema by Lou Rawls
Hey by Julio Iglesias
Umbrella by Marie Digby
Staying Alive by Eldissa
Tainted Love by Stella Starlight Trio
Every Breath You Take by Pink Turtle

No trip to Mykonos would be complete without a lunch at Nammos.

Another favorite, Interni Restaurant.

Not to mention shopping...

My girlfriend, Nina, savvy on all things Greek, tipped me off to visit the legendary jeweller,
Ilias Lalaounis.
Definitely worth the visit!

Before we leave beautiful Greece, we jotted down our wishes and set them free in a floating lantern...
