Mykonos: A Private Tour, a Hidden Cat Sanctuary, and Why Having a Plan on a Busy Port Day Changes Everything

I have been to Mykonos multiple times. I love it. And I was worried that a port day there on the busiest day of the month at that port was going to feel like retreading old ground in a crowd. It did not. A private tour with a guide named Fotis took us to a hidden cat sanctuary, a bakery owned by his friend, and every non-tourist corner of an island I thought I already knew. Then I got my septum pierced, none of my cards worked, and we ended up at a bar called Duck making a friend we are still following on Instagram.
