The Greek Islands has always been high on my list of holiday destinations. After a couple of false starts, we finally went to Mykonos for a week in September. We deliberately avoided the hottest part of summer and had glorious temperatures of mid-high 20's which suit us perfectly.
Charlie loved the beach - playing with his sandpit toys and splashing in the water. We rented a townhouse/villa within easy walking distance of Ornos (the "family" beach) which had a pool which was good for a late afternoon dip. There was a great bakery nearby - perfect for picking up salad rolls to have on the beach, and several supermarkets to get whatever we needed.

We hired a car to drive into Mykonos and to check out some of
the other beaches. Had a great meal in Mykonos which was good because
the restaurants in Ornos were not that great. Overall, it felt like a
real break and once again we realised how much we miss be close to the
beach!
