Welcome to Tropicana, Mykonos. Greece

I left you with two tickets, a motorbike, and a destination: Mykonos.

Our tickets, Paros->Mykonos

Let's start saying that the island where we arrive is the most beautiful I saw till now in Greece. It has simply everything.
The city, Chora, is simply a jewel of the Aegean Sea.

We have no place to stay, we just heard about a crazy party place called "Tropicana", at Paradise Beach. That's our destination.

As soon as we arrive, we fall in love with a place already called "Paradise".

36 Hours of Tropicana

As said, we have no plan. Our room is in Paros, no idea where to sleep tonight, but maybe we don't need to, we could party and take the first next morning's ferry.
For the moment we are at Tropicana, Mykonos. The coolest bar ever saw.

This beautiful place is famous to have one of the craziest pre-party of the world, and we start to warm up a bit.

The big boss and entertainer of the entire place is a crazy Italian guy wearing anything but only an Elephant shaped thong. Its name is Sasà. Better known as "The king of Mykonos".

This apparently quite place during the day, becomes wild as soon the evening arrives. The escalation is smooth and perfect, the people start to enjoy the music and everything transforms to one of the best party experiences we ever had!

The more we are here the more we don't want to leave. We soon agree about spending the night somewhere on the island to have another full day to enjoy this paradise.
So we do and after hours of party, considering that we woke up on another island the same day, we decide to have a few hours of rest.
This is the best room we find, thanks to a very drunk new friend of us met at Tropicana!

Our "room" in Mykonos, Greece

It is very expensive, but it's the price of the adventure. And even if crappier as it looks like in the picture, it's direct to Paradise Beach. Then, who cares, we just have to rest a bit to be able to enjoy another Mykonos day!

YOLO

Day 2

If so we can call it, the "day two" starts on the beach. We enjoy the wonderful atmosphere and prepare for the incoming second pre-party, rested and more expert than the first time.

The evening arrives and we are really amused from this place. We are finally just enjoying our holiday without any stress. The routine and our jobs seem to be part of another life.

Me and @Fraswa having fun in Mykonos, Greece

Tonight we don't need to go to sleep.
We start at the bar at 6 P.M. and arrive till 7 A.M. when we ask a girl to take this picture for us.

Me and @fraswa, 7 A.M., Paradise Beach. Mykonos

When I look at this picture, the memories of this magic and crazy night come to my mind altogether.
It will be without doubts one of the best experience of my life,
lived without a real plan, enjoyed like there is no tomorrow.
