We’re in beautiful Mykonos (Μύκονος) Greece for today’s walk. One of the Cyclades Islands - an island group in the Aegean Sea with lots of mythology and history. They’re known for their blue and white stucco buildings, beautiful beaches, and clear blue water.
Mykonos is a smaller island with just 10,134 inhabitants - but many times that in tourists. The population can temporarily double during the day with the large cruise ships of visitors arriving.
We’ll be walking around Mykonos (same name) which is the largest town that lies on the west coast of the island. It’s also known as Chora (‘town’ in Greek) which you’ll find the same on other Greek Islands. The town is a maze of tiny streets all whitewashed. It’s still full of locals who you’ll see going about their daily business - but many houses are now converted to AirBnBs
Mykonos is also known as "The Island of the Winds" for obvious reasons - though today is a beautiful calm day. Over 150,000 tourists usually visit Mykonos each year - but this year it’s empty due to COVID … so we get the enjoy the small streets almost people free!
Usually, Mykonos tends to be extremely crowded with visitors in July and August so you planning your trip on either side of this is often a good idea. The sun shines for up to 300 days a year on Mykonos and the temperature is around 28 °C (82 °F) in summer due to cooling breezes.
As the island is so small the airport is only a short 15 minutes taxi ride away. But be aware that taxis in Mykonos are very expensive. Public buses regularly to the other towns and beaches so are often a better choice.
In Greek mythology, Mykonos was named after its first ruler, Mykonos (Μύκονος). He was the son of the god Apollo. Mykonos is said to be the location of a great battle between the god Zeus and giants. The large rocks all over the island are said to be the petrified corpses of the giants
Mykonos town is full of small cafes, top restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It’s also the most popular gay-friendly destination in Greece.
= Little Venice =
You might remember Little Venice where we started today’s walk which has rows of fishing houses line the waterfront with their little balconies hanging over the sea. These date back to the mid-18th century and rumor has it that they belonged to pirates who had secret storage below their houses to hide their treasures. Some of the houses have now been converted into bars and cafes and it's a great place to watch the sunset
= Mykonos windmills =
You’ll see windmills across Mykonos but these are the famous Kato Mili. They were built by the Venetians in the 16th Century to mill flour. Although they don’t work today they were positioned here to capture the strong Aegan winds.

Been here a couple of times and as with any Greek island and I've visited many they are all spectacular in one way or another, Athens city is also well worth a visit.

Das sieht ja fast genau so aus wie vor zwei Wochen. Da begann die Saison wieder nach dem Lockdown. Ich konnte die Gassen von Mykonos genau so menschenleer erleben wie hier gezeigt. Das ist sicher selten so... LG Jörg

[@annatraveler]

I like your channel it is very beautiful Whole videos are awesome Very nice work 👍

[@WalkwithWilbur]

Thanks Anna. Glad you enjoy them. It's not difficult to make beautiful videos in Greece as everything is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@annatraveler]

@@WalkwithWilbur Yes!!l agree with you 😀 There are many beauties!!! But this pandemic that unfortunately we have an increased number of cases has overturned all our plans and hopes. Stay safe and healthy 😷

It’s too bad with such beautiful coast towns that all I got to see was alleyways I mean I did it it was nice but I’d like to have seen more of the coast

Glad you enjoyed the video Wilbur! Would love to visit Hydra. Hopefully I'll go there for a future video.

[@javedsultan4830]

@@WalkwithWilbur gracias..

[@Chris-yt1nu]

This is a nice island but very commercialized. Visit any of the other of hundreds of islands which are just as good and better. Try one you are not familiar with and you will be amazed.

[@saymyname218]

Beautiful place but i think i would get lost.

[@outdoorstours]

very nice video. may i ask which camera did u use here at this video?

[@WalkwithWilbur]

Just a GoPro8 - the cameras get better each version!

[@alanwhitehead9272]

Why are so many videos are without any description of what is being shown ??

[@SimitGamersTv]

There are too many such places in Turkey, even more than in Greece, but this architecture belongs to the Greeks, and sometimes you can see the Turkish architecture on the islands because it lived under Turkish rule for 400-500 years in Greece, thus providing architectural exchange in the lands of the two countries.

[@userone1465]

Either everyone there is really tall or the guy filming the video is really short lol

[@dicksonwong3392]

Beautiful Mykonos and Wilbur!! Can I suggest that the caption to stay a little longer? Its disappearing too fast I can't really read them properly!

[@WalkwithWilbur]

Thanks Dickson! Well spotted - the words were disappearing faster than Wilbur can run ;) KZbin changed the captioning system this week which was the problem. We've hopefully fixed it now!

[@kaloarepo288]

Fascinated by the whitewashing that makes everything look so neat and pristine .I've wondered if it is expensive to do and is it mandatory?Does it have to be redone from time to time?

[@ahmedmohamed3759]

يارب انت👆عارف باه😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hakansilici135]

it was a nice travel but your camera is too low so we couldn't see the faces of the pretty girls

[@susangilbert4512]

Never seen it so empty ....went a few years ago and it was heaving with tourists...where are the pelicans ??

[@RecitimHumeid]

why would you as a local want to leave this place?

[@xdx2653]

well at summers is very nice but with all that noise and so many people for 4-5 months at row sometimes becoming annoying and make u tired.also at winter is kinda boring. as greek of mainland i couldnt live at islands all period but for 1 week is very nice. at only islands who can live forever are Crete and some at ionian sea like corfu

[@eyefromsky2334]

the way you wont tell people Mykonos it is guy island for more than 3000 years . still, it is even name come from backgrounds of the guy.
