Today Rob and I decided to rent a car and do some exploring of Mykonos outside of Chora (the main town). Actually, we got a Smart car and got a chance to see the Panagia Tourliani Monastery, many of the island beaches, and the Mykonos Starbucks! The monastery is in a village near the center of the island called Ano Mera and is only about 7 km from Chora. It is known for its baroque iconostasis made in 1775 by Venetian artists. After driving around the island for most of the morning we stopped for lunch at a beach called Paradise where we spend a few hours under the umbrellas admiring the view out to the islands of Paros and Naxos. We didn't bring our swimsuits today, so I think we're going to head back to Paradise via bus tomorrow.
