travel greece mykonos chora mykonos around the city
The beautiful little harbor town of Chora Mykonos is filled with winding stone streets among its bright white plaster architecture with colorful wood accents.
There are endless shops, galleries, restaurants to explore.
In the evening, the outdoor restaurants along the waterfront really come to life.
Be sure and take a walk up the hillside to see some of the less-touristy local architecture.

I was walking along the back streets when I came upon this beautiful basket of flowers.
With my camera to my eye, I was working up close on setting the focus and lighting.
Then I saw some sudden movement at the edge of the frame and panned back and found this proud
Greek gentleman who wanted to be in the picture with his flowers.
I took the picture and said thank you. When I got home and looked at the photo, I found the
foot of his wife at the edge of the photo, rushing to join her husband for the picture.
Unfortunately, I might have missed a more "perfect" picture.
