Jeff—Saturday
Whoever comes to Mykonos undoubtedly hears of the fabled
unspoiled (so far) beach of Agios Sostis. Almost always mentioned in the same
breath is its legendary Kiki’s Taverna, where even heads of state must wait in
line for a table. It’s been around since
long before I came to Mykonos, founded by Kiki and her husband Vasilis. Today it’s run by Vasilis—no relation except
in his fervent dedication to maintaining the old ways—and the experience under
his hand is just as special as it always was.
I was lucky enough to eat lunch there this week—Barbara’s
been there three times since we arrived two weeks ago—and I was so busy
enjoying the meal and company that I forgot to take any photos, except for the
title photo at the top of the post, and this one of our hats enjoying the meal
along with us.
And what’s a hat without a cat.
So, these photos of the beach and taverna are courtesy of
Barbara’s earlier visits and the efforts of some anonymous others. Nothing’s changed from what you see. Though
there will be a mayoral election on Mykonos tomorrow….
