My trip to Mykonos
Hi all,
Last week I spend my time on Greek island Mykonos. Very nice place and definitely worth recommendation. Nice views and a lot of people from USA. The climate is very nice and you can definitely get rest on vacation. Great food for special steaks lovers as well as vegetarian because of fresh olives and feta cheese. I never thought that Greece can be that nice but my wife forced me to go there and she was right. As for us watch enthusiasts there was a lot of watch spotting on others wrist. I saw a lot of SS Subs and DJs. My one or two SkyDwellers in full gold on oysterflex. Few APs and a lot of people with Moonswatch. I saw a very big difference between tourist from Europe and US. Most tourists form US was wearing Apple Watches and on the other hand most tourists form Europe ( specially from Germany, Swiss or England) they were wearing luxury watches, so I was easy to judge from where people came from. Definitely safe place to wear a luxury watch without a doubt! Unfortunately nothing for sale in Rolex ADs and the Tudor selection was low as well compared to US market. On the other hand I stopped in Hublot boutique in Mykonos and I have to say the service and knowledge of the staff was amazing. And to be honest I tried few pieces there and I don’t understand why people hate Hublot. This yellow Big Bang catch my attention and I have to say that the watch was very well made and definitely worth the price. If I would have the money I definitely would pull the trigger but unfortunately it wasn’t on my price range. This trip was amazing for me and I can definitely recommend this Greek Island for anyone.

Went there last summer and I agree it was someplace I want to go back to. Loved visiting Greece.

I always think of the movie Summer Lovers when I see these kind of pictures. Although it was filmed in Santorini.
Would love to get there some day.

Mykonos is very nice and great pics! There are MANY beautiful islands in Greece and the mainland is beautiful too with close by small islands assessable with car on ferry to spend the day. My wife was born and lived in Greece for 33 years and we have extended family in Greece. We visit Greece every year and explore a new area or island every time we go.
