The heat, the bugs, and the plethora of roosters crowing (beginning at 4:30 am) made it very easy for us to get an early start to our day. We stored our bags with the family who owned our room and jumped on our scooter to explore Mykonos and it’s beautiful beaches.
Riding around on our scooter was a great way to explore the island and take in the spectacular views of the coastline and landscape. We maneuvered our way along the small and hilly roads and ended up at a beautiful cove where we grabbed a bite to eat in a garden restaurant next to the beach. After getting some energy for the day, we scooted over to see some of the other beaches and eventually decided to post up on one of the comfy lounge chairs at Paradise Beach. We spent the next couple hours swimming in the clear blue water and enjoying the warm weather with some cool refreshments. 
With only a little bit of time left before our ferry ride to Santorini, we made one last stop at a small beach for a tasty Greek salad (minus the olives of course). Our hosts dropped us off at the port where we somewhat patiently waited in the beating sun for almost 2 hours due to the late arrival of our ferry.
We arrived in Santorini via a high-speed catamaran shaped boat in 3 hours stopping at a couple islands along the way. The bartender at our hotel was waiting our arrival at the Santorini port with a Semingsons sign and kindly escorted us to the hotel. The grounds of our hotel are quite impressive and after checking-in to our pool view room and enjoying our welcome drinks, we received a short orientation to the island. We were quite pleased with our accommodations and spent the rest of the night walking along the nearby black-sand beach and enjoying tasty Greek dishes at one of the ocean view restaurants.
