The Experience

“Just relax — don’t worry about your hands,” Ioanna said, laughing as I tried to figure out what to do with them in front of her camera. We’d just met at the old port, where the morning air still smelled faintly salty and the fishermen were finishing up their coffee. George was already snapping candids while Ioanna explained how the light in Mykonos town is softer before 9am — something about the way it bounces off all that white stone. I hadn’t thought much about lighting before, but she was right: everything looked kind of dreamy, like someone had turned down the world’s contrast.

We wandered through those narrow streets (honestly, I lost track of which turn was which after a while), stopping every so often when Ioanna spotted a doorway or a patch of bougainvillea she liked. She told us stories about Paraportiani church — apparently it’s actually five churches stacked together? The walls were cool to the touch, and there was this moment where George caught me laughing at my own attempt to pronounce “Paraportiani” (Li laughed too; I definitely butchered it). It felt less like posing for photos and more like hanging out with friends who happened to have really nice cameras.

Little Venice was waking up by the time we got there. The cafes were setting out chairs, and you could hear plates clinking over the sound of waves hitting the sea wall. Ioanna showed us how to stand so we didn’t squint into the sun — small thing, but it made a difference in the photos. We finished near the windmills, which honestly look even better in person than on Instagram (I know everyone says that, but it’s true). By then my hair had gone a bit wild from the breeze, but George said it added “character.” Maybe he was just being polite.

I still think about that walk sometimes — not just because of the photos (which arrived two days later and made my mom cry happy tears), but because for a couple hours I felt like I belonged in those winding streets. If you’re thinking about booking this photo tour in Mykonos town… well, just go early if you can. There’s something special about seeing it before everyone else wakes up.
