Our visit to Mykonos wasn't as great as I expected. Of my entire trip, I was looking forward to Mykonos the most. It unfortunately lands at the bottom of my most enjoyable list. I think our experience had to do with the time of year we visited (early November) where we found a lot of the town already shut down. We did see the lighthouse and the back part of the island, but it wasn't what I imagined or see as images of Mykonos -very brown and dessert like. Our guide/driver (Eddie ??) was average. I really feel that after a very long tourist season, he was burnt out and ready for a break - which is not the feeling you want from a guide. After an elongated car ride, we were rushed through the town and left on the other side, as our tour end time approached. It just didn't seem as "rounded" as other tours we experienced along the way. The town was crowded (Eddie stated that it wasn't as crowded as the summer), but I think with many shops, beach clubs, and restuarants being closed, people didn't have a lot of places to go. Either way, Mykonos left me wondering if I would return. At this point, likely not.
