Creator's Key Takeaways
In May of 2025, we cruised with the NCL Viva and stopped on the Greek island of Mykonos.
Famous for its winding streets with white cobblestones, we found the city to be COMPLETELY OVERCROWDED and honestly, not that fun.
It seemed very touristy and not really authentic, but we did find some good food!
Our crew stopped in Santorini, Mkonos, and Rotos. And without a doubt, the best place to explore side streets and find a small out of the way restaurant is Rotos and not Mkos, and definitely not Santorini.
