M and I had plans to stay overnight in Athens and take a ferry (Seajet) the next day to Mykonos. We learned there was an impending strike that would affect all ferries the next day so we decided to fly to Mykonos (thinking that the airlines/airports were unaffected). As the day progressed, we realized the airports would be affected as well.
We didn’t want to risk not being able to make it to Mykonos, so we ended up flying there on the same night we arrived in Athens (thinking back on it, we should have flown straight to Mykonos when we landed in Athens. This would’ve saved us the ~50 euro taxi ride each way to the airport).
We stayed at the Mykonos Grand Resort and loved the property; it was clean, had beautiful views, an amazing complimentary breakfast, a nice salt-water pool, and access to a private beach. The resort also provides complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport as well as into town.
M and I spent an afternoon/evening exploring the town and had a wonderful Italian dinner at D’Angelo.
