Next day awoke to heavy winds and moderate seas.  At breakfast we got the bad news that it was too tough to tender and we were going to miss mykonos.

On to Athens.

So, if you miss Mykonos then it's straight on to Athens?  Does that mean an early arrival or will they slowly make their way and arrive at the scheduled time?  TIA!

PS Sorry you're missing Mykonos😔

Jimbo, can you share what tour guide said about the two-story structure?  Like from what dates and by whom it was constructed and used?  It really is a magnificent ruin.

The Library of Celsus.  THAT is what I want to see the most.  Not really interested in the religious sites at all, but The Library!!  I can't wait.

 

OK, I have to go pack. 😄

The most extensive ruin on the world.  Only 15% excavated, utterly amazing.  This are was the last in along sloping hillside down to what was the sea (now is land).  This area was the Library I believe mostly where the common folk gathered..  The elite were up the hill.  I would go back here is a new york minute.
