Welcome to Mykonos!

There are some who say the essence of Mykonos cannot be captured in words. Of course, I’m not one of them.

But in the spirit of equal time, permit me to introduce you to samples from the Internet’s most highly treasured photographic archives of that bewitching Aegean Greek island. They are the compilation of Dimitris Koutsoukos, a tireless advocate for the history and charms of his place of birth.

I’m presenting this without a bit of adorning prose, for this is not about words but about their inspiration. Word conjuring for this day I leave to the pen of your imagination.

For those wanting to see more of Dimitri’s fascinating work paying tribute to our island, here is a link to his dozens of YouTube videos setting still photographs to music.
