Mykonos... The Partying Island of the Cyclades...

We went to Mykonos for the weekend... It was part of the Cyclades group of islands, which is famous for its white-washed buildings... It is relatively small... but the parties over here is very big! hahahah... It is known for its wild nightlife in Mykonos... But then again, Kevin and I are not party animals, so we did not catch the beach bums partying in action... hehehe...

Walking into down through the small lanes... cobbled stone pathway on the island...


Shops in town...


Church bells...


"Little Venice" of Mykonos.. It has the name as there are cafes and restuarants situated by the waters... and it does resembles Venice in a way...
