rds other people because when we choose to think we know that just because someone is different from us, it does not mean they are a threat to us. Sometimes fear can be misconstrued as hate and this can be prevented by overriding quick judgements(totally acceptable, we all do it whether or not we’d like to admit it) with rationalization.
What does any of this have to do with Mykonos? Going back to the stray cats, Mykonos has a huge population of cats that are extremely trusting towards tourists and I think this is reflective upon the locals of the small, yet bustling island. Feeding the stray cats was the highlight of my time there but that’s not at all indicative that there was a lack in the array of activities and fun things to do because this place is L I T af. It is known as the party animal of the Greek islands for good reason. You will not have any trouble finding a place to dance all the while enjoying the crystal clear blue water that surrounds the white and blue architecture. Oh and the people are gorgeous too. So much aesthetic.
We stayed at the Cavo Tagoo Mykonos which was a good call. The walls were painted white and accompanied by tasteful gold touches here and there(like I have been trying to illustrate, aesthetic AF). The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly which should be a good enough reason..but the food was my most favorite part of the stay. I discovered cheeses that I have never even knew existed. Manouri cheese is my favorite cheese now thanks to this place and I have a new appreciation for mediterranean food. The ingredients are so simple but flavorful and healthy. Simple food tastes the best because you can automatically tell if the ingredients are fresh and of high quality since there is nothing masking the true flavor. I think the fresh vegetables and organic ingredients used in Greek cooking make it one of the best cuisines in the world. There is also a restaurant in a cave that I forgot the name of but I am sure you could find it if you asked around. Try the cheese, salads, olive oil and seafood if you ever get a chance to visit.
Anyway, the island is actually quite small so you can do most of your exploring on foot but word of warning there are no sidewalks in most areas so be careful of cars. There is an option to rent a car or a jeep and explore this way as well. When you get bored of sight seeing you can relax on the beach, tan, grab a drink and people watch.
