We woke up bright and early on our second morning in Athens to catch a cab to our (ginormous) ferry to Mykonos:
We hopped on board, found some cozy seats and settled in for the 5+ hour ferry ride. As the massive ship pulled out of the port we headed to the outdoor deck to take in the view and watch the traffic, noise, and grit of Athens drown in the deep blue of the sea.
For the first few hours of the ride we stayed inside where it was warm and cozy. There were snacks, naps, and some map-gazing. Once we realized the sun was peeking out we made our way back to the outdoor deck. Here are some photos from our deck sitting:
The first major stop the ferry made was at Syros, a big-little city on the sea:
Back on the sea to Mykonos. Bye, Syros!
After a quick stop in Tinos we rode the waves to Mykonos, sparkling like a diamond in a sapphire sea:
We greatly enjoyed our ferry rides to and from Mykonos; we were AMAZED at how quickly they were able to get people (and vehicles) on and off of the boat at each stop. As fun as the ferry was, we were dying to check out our new destination...
More from Mykonos tomorrow!
