The White-Washed Shores of Mykonos, Greece

When I went to Greece two summers ago, I fell in love. After daydreaming about the country for years, that didn’t surprise me one bit. The white-washed buildings, sparkling sea, unusual geography, and extraordinary history swept me off my feet. My sister and I took a five-night cruise on Louis Hellenic Cruise Lines with Contiki, and it allowed us to explore several of Greece’s most incredible islands.

Here are some of my photos from several twilight hours we spent in Mykonos Town (aka Chora).
