Mykonos

Hey Beauties now let’s talk about Mykonos! Mykonos is where I was able to empower the women I met on my trip!

In order to get from Santorini to Mykonos I took a Seajet. The price was around $70 and the trip lasted a little over 2 hours. The ride was pretty smooth if you were seated. When I had to use the facilities I felt like I was walking a tightrope because I was swaying from left to right. If you have ever seen the movie World War Z, I felt like I was in that movie as we were disembarking. I have a vivid imagination and I love movies!

The hotel , Ilio Maris, was a 5 to 7 minute drive from the port for 5 Euros ( $5.59). I stayed from April 13 – 15 for $219. I booked through booking.com. I would suggest you book directly through the hotel to get free transportation to and from the airport. The hotel is a boutique hotel which I loved. When I travel I like to stay in hotels or Airbnbs with character. I was so excited because I finally had a tub which I took full advantage of after I finished 4 boudoir experiences in one day!  A sista was tired from standing, contorting and posing.

I did not take many pictures in Mykonos because most of my time was spent resting from doing the boudoir acrobatics for the 4 Beauties.

Nice n’ Easy Restaurant

We dined at an amazing restaurant called Nice n Easy. The food was the best I had in Greece! It is a natural organic based restaurant with vegan and gluten free options. The manager was amazing and went above and beyond. This is where I got my first taste of Matiska, a Greek liqueur. Which is now on my all time favorite wine and spirits list! We were able to watch the sunset after dinner by just walking a foot from the our table to the water.

ATHENS:

The Graffti

I wish I had more time to explore Athens. What I loved is I was able to take the train directly from the airport to my Airbnb in Dafni. I bought a 3 day pass for 22 Euros = $24.60. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! Being an art lover I was blown away by the graffti that was everywhere! It made the city come to life because of the bold use of color and whimsical imagery. I almost fell a few times because I was busy appreciating the art.

My Airbnb

Let me tell y’all about my Airbnb! I stayed from April 15 – 17 paying $136.53 in total. The best part of the entire Airbnb, outside of my host Despina, was this amazing hanging chair. I stayed in that chair for 30 minutes when I got settled. It was so soothing. When I walked in my name was on a mini marque as well. I felt like a celebrity! The location was literally steps away from the metro which made it easy to make it to Monastiraki Square to shop, eat and people watch. I even had a small kitchen.

Overall I enjoyed my trip immensely! I did not take many images because this trip was really about much needed rest, relaxation and gratitude. I feel as if I met the goal and I cannot wait to go back and explore again. Check out the videos from my trip on my Instagram.
