Chora Mykonos

Even though Mykonos has plenty of gorgeous beaches, you are sure to find a multitude of beautiful beaches anywhere in the world.  But what you won’t find is the crazy labyrinth of shops, restaurants, nightclubs, apartments and churches that make up Mykonos Town (or what the locals call Chora) – my favorite attraction of the island.  The narrow winding alleys […]

lou - i know exactly what you mean. that’s why i love sardinia so much. beaches are nice but what drives me is to get to know the places were people live. narrow streets are great. i remember once in sardinia… we were walking down one of those tiny narrow streets… the smell of pasta… the laundry hung between the windows… a mother was screaming at a kid…. somewhere was music. you don’t have that at the beach.

Cafe Fashionista - Maddy, I just have to say – and I know that I’ve said this before – your photography is incredible. It gets better with every single picture I see. These photographs look like something out of a travel magazine or something – they are exquisite. You have a knack for capturing color and enthusiasm in any and all subjects – still or not. LOVE! :)

Amy - Oh, the color! So beautiful … and I can’t believe you can even make dead fish look awesome! :)

As for the nightlife photos–probably good for you that you didn’t capture many. It means you wee out partaking in the fun!!

Sana, So Does Estella - Oh my gosh, Maddy! Nothing less than excellence for your photography! I have never been to Chora but it appears to be just my speed. Your shots give us a look into the culture there. Today is my blog reading day and so far I’ve got to new places on my to-go list, Auroville, a little town in India and Chora. Great to hear about your trip!

Nadette - So what you’re telling me is that the Chora is for me? I can dig it! one of my favorite things to do when I travel is to get lost in the city and just wander around in search of something fabulous. The pictures make me feel like I’m actually there, and I totally need that pick me up, so thank you :) oh and guess who registered for photography classes??

July 20, 2011 - 8:24 pm

Stephanie - I loved Greece when I went and am dying to go back so badly! I haven’t been to Mykonos but after looking at your amazing photography, it makes my itching to go back as soon as possible. It’s incredible how you were able to capture some of the beauty of this Greek island – your such a gifted photographer!

Eternally yours,
Stephanie

Camila Faria - How wonderful to wander around this beautiful place. The funny thing for me is that Chora means Cry in portuguese. Tears of joy, maybe. : )

July 21, 2011 - 2:54 pm

Karin Griffin - Oh Maddy these are wonderful! I love the details of the colorful clothespins, the tiny winding streets, cafes, crooked staircase, and bright blue door! Marvelous!! What a great job you did capturing the feel of the village as if I was there! Thanks for sharing!

Haute World - So so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful photographs with us. I’m mesmerized by the colors and the food. Never been to Greece, only Cyprus, which some of these images remind me of. Definitely will take your advice on Mykonos if I ever go!

Tiera - I love how everything is so colorful! I know part of that is Greece, but part of it is def the photographer :)

First Stop…Mykonos!

The first stop on our Grecian vacation is the beautiful island of Mykonos! It’s hard to describe Mykonos….actually, it’s going to be hard to describe all of our destinations, but I’m going to try my best to put it all into words.  I’ll start by saying this: the whole vibe of the island is fun, young and sexy.

Dana - Ahhhh, to be so young and carefree! Good for you for taking time to just hang out late in a nightclub. So many people approach travel with a big “must see and do” list, and they end up missing the true vibe of a place. A good friend with a husband hitting a milestone birthday next year has just requested that we all spend time in Greece together next summer, specifically Santorini. “Why, of course, we’d love to join you all!” was my response. I look forward to your posts and pictures of the rest of your trip.
Dana
PS. BEAUTIFUL images!
