Ornos beach was just down the street from the hotel- all of the equivalant of two blocks away, and was lined with thatched umbrellas and lounge chairs.
The harbor was filled with lots of boats anchored here, as we could see from the airplane.
Due to its location it was a jumping-off point for the boats that took people to some of the other beaches.
The water was warm, nice for swimming in, and incredibly clear!
We rented a few of the chairs under an umbrella and claimed that as our home base for the day. The better part of the day we spent relaxing, reading magazines and swimming. Actually, I spent most of my day in the water- I'm too much of a fish to just sit and stare at it when I could be in it! :)
A waitress from the cafe next to the beach came through several times over the course of the day. After looking over the menu hung from our umbrella post we decided this was a great way to have lunch! Greek salads brought to us by Nicoletta became such a part of our Ornos beach experience... along with daiquiris later in the afternoon!
That evening we decided to get acquainted with Mykonos town, and so got cleaned up and went into town for dinner.
The bus that came through Ornos was ridiculously packed, and we were hanging on for dear life! Upon arriving in town we found a little trellis-covered restaurant, and then wandered through town. The streets were very windy and labyrinthine, and packed with clubs and partying college kids. We felt kind of old, because we really didn't feel like we wanted to be a part of that whole scene.
But T found a store with really nice clothes, and along the shore two of the churches were illuminated and were very pretty at night!
