Escaping to the magical island of Mykonos

Apollon Villa

By this point you are doubtless as bored as I am by travel pieces that begin with what a nightmare travelling is these days. So I won’t. Well not too much. All I will say, without going into details about forms/tests/masks/visas, is that for me personally it does radically alter the destinations I am eager to get to.

Somewhere an hour or so’s flight away, a European city, currently feels almost not worth the hassle. While even the thought of spending more than six hours on a plane in the current conditions feels like an endurance test. Basically, I want somewhere where I feel like I am a long, long way from home but that I can get to in about four hours. Which brings me, relatively hassle-free, to Mykonos.
