God Thia, I seem to get your videos as they come out. Love your videos, always. Straight to the point and professional. This one is superb and your viewers should know it tells you what you need to know in as little time as possible and has beautiful visuals. One little point, You probably dont want to take an Agean Cruise in the middle of summer especially if you are older. Do the shoulder season. Its so hot with little wind that it can get to you especially if you are not physically active. Best wishes

[@travelingwiththia]

Shepard, thank you so much. I am trying to narrow down the information. I don't think most of us have the time for a 30 minute video. You, as usual, are totaly correct about the heat. We were there in September and it was hot. I can't imagine how unbearable it would be mid summer. We went did a Med cruise in July one year and Rome was horrible. Between the crowds and the heat.

@@travelingwiththia Thanks Thia. It would be a great service to all elder people, to let them know that the Med in the Summer may not be for them due to excessive heat and they should think about doing the shoulder season. Most people have little idea that Europe in September may be the best time of the year and they may save on hotels and flights too. After about the middle of that month. Sevilla is 95 every day in July and August. Best wishes.

It is a very sad and disappointing thing to know that Mykonos, once the island selected by authors, painters, sculptors and people aiming to experience the natural beauty of this island that was a rather poor stronghold for pirates for centuries has now become a place where prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, rudeness and complete disrespect of almost any lawful behavior rules.
Hotels, restaurants, beach bars and cafeterias charge exorbitant prices (usually without issuing any receipt), they employ young Greeks or illegal immigrants at monthly wages below (sometimes way below) the minimum wage, without any social security compensations and having them work 12-14 hour shifts 7 days per week treating them like slaves,, while beach bars and hotels occupy beaches charging ridiculously high prices for an umbrella and two chaise longues, forbidding people who are not willing to use them and pay for them from swimming in the beach (by Greek law all beaches are public and freely accessible to everybody).
Much of the tourist economy of the island is in the hands of the Russian mafia and its oligarchs much of the supply of food, equipment and fuel a part of the building business is ruled by the Albanian mafia.
Corruption runs high, as you can open any sort of shop almost anywhere if you have "the right connections" and you can build whatever you wish or can afford without feeling restricted by any building permits, Greek laws on the use of land or any public space demarcation.
Local Mykonians, once happy and proud of their island, are questioning whether they are going to have the means to keep their properties on the island, are more and more threatened by the shady people that make Mykonos their summer residence and by the myriads of people landing on their island in the summer, as tourists seeing Mykonos as the paradise for heavy drugs, easy free and paid sex, wild partying and a chance to engage in any sort of extreme, unhinged nightlife "entertainment" of all sorts.
Mykonos was recently characterized as the "Colombia of the Mediterranean Sea", if that adds a layer of description to the fast, sad and possibly irreversible disintegration of this very beautiful island.
What a shameful waste!

[@travelingwiththia]

That is so sad. It is such a beautiful place.

You are an early bird!

So are you! I actually schedule them in advance but I enjoy catching up on UA-cam while lounging in bed on a Sunday morning.
