East of mainland Greece lies the small island of Mykonos. A jewel in
the middle of the Aegean Sea, this tiny island is a magnet for tourist
from
around the world. There are two reasons to go to Mykonos,
the shopping and night life of the town or the fantastic
beaches. Or in our
case a little of both. For the better
part of seven summers while the Air Force "forced" us to live in Athens
we travelled to Mykonos as often as possible.
Paraportiani
by Michael Lanty
To welcome all
Her arms stretch out
Toward the harbor,
Quietly caressing the world.
All white wash
And gently curving lines,
Inspiring all who
Pass her majestic beauty.
A broken cross
Reflects her human imperfection,
The souls inspired
Prove her heavenly perfection.

Houses graceful Paraportiani
Haven for weary travelers.
