Videos: Mykonos

Videos from Mykonos including a quad ride, wind/kite surfers, a few electrical storm clips, and the view from atop Delos' highest point.





In the very last second of this video you can quickly see a boat being abandoned and slowly sinking as the other boats rescue the passengers; pretty cool stuff eh?

Delos, Greece

Just a half hours boat ride from Mykonos, is the small island of Delos. Being nearly the center of the Cyclades, the island has a very rich history and retains much of it in its many ruins and mosaics. On our day trip from Mykonos, we hiked up the highest peak (Mt Kythnos, 113m), went to the Delos Museum, and wandered through the extensive ruins. The main reason I wanted to visit Mykonos, was to visit Delos, so I'm glad it lived up to its expectations.
