Good morning, or perhaps I should say "Kaliméra," because I'm sitting here in a
coffee shop, one of my favorite in Mykonos, Greece. My name is Aggie Lal.
I'm a professional Jetsetter. I travel the world for a living and I'm so happy
to have you here at the Jetsetter website. For those of you who don't know
Jetsetter, it's an online source for how to travel stylishly, smartly, and consciously.
Before I even go any further and show you my favorite spots on this
beautiful island, make sure you like this video and subscribe to the Jetsetter
channel because there'll be more to come. Let's do it.
You can't come to Mykonos and not go shopping—at least window shopping. Let's take a look.
Mykonos is full of these cute little streets that are
filled with shops, restaurants, and every time I come here I feel like I could spend an
entire day just going from one restaurant to another, trying
another Greek salad, trying another coffee. But if you get a little tired
like I just did, this little quiet street le's you just relax, get some fresh
air, and enjoy the white buildings with cute little blue touches.
And this is another thing I love about Mykonos: you have a church, you have a restaurant,
you have Louis Vuitton, you have all you need in one little corner, it all kind of
works here together. This little coffee shop, ice cream shop is one of my
favorite places. Delicious crepes, delicious coffee, and homemade ice cream. YUM.
We come back every year.
And, of course, kitties everywhere in Mykonos. Look kitty, see the camera? Hi!
I think he likes my hat! Cats are the happiest guys in Mykonos, the best life.
If you're a cat, come to Mykonos!
Always so busy in Mykonos. If you want to have a
photo by yourself just come early in the morning, 8 o'clock. It's empty, Greeks like
to sleep in, and you can take a photo of empty blue streets by yourself but for
now, you have to navigate between the crowd.
All that walking has made me hungry. I'm going to take you to my favorite Greek restaurant,
La Familia, and we'll have some traditional Greek food. Let's go.
I love this restaurant because not only the food is delicious, I love the bougainvillea being
all around the tables. It's very, like, family vibe and it's called La Familia so
rightly so. Mykonos is an old fisherman town so every restaurant you go to
you get to see beautiful fresh fish, a lot of eggplant, cucumber, tomato obviously —a
typical Greek salad. So apart from fresh fish and typical Greek salad, you'll see a
lot of spreads with cheeses and a lot of fish-based dishes. For example,
Taramosalata (I hope I'm pronouncing it right), it's like a spread with white fish and cheese.
It's really delicious. So as we're waiting for a meal and it'll
get olive oil with some ciabatta bread and balsamic. In Greece, you get a little
bit of fresh Greek olives obviously and this is actually feta cheese with sun-dried
tomatoes made as a paste. So you grab a little piece of bread. I'm just gonna dip
the good old way and have some feta, cheese, tomato...
When you see me in Greece, you'll see me eat Greek salad for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
And for whatever reason, if I was eating Greek salad in L.A., I would get bored
after day two. It's my second week here in Greece and I just can't get enough. It's
so fresh. Always a little bit different. Always just as good. And here we have
famous Greek moussaka which is basically minced meat with béchamel sauce and cheese.
It's kind of like lasagna but it's mixed with eggplant. This restaurant has the moussaka I've had.
If you're very thirsty, Greeks actually do drink Aperol spritz.
Maybe not as much as Italians, they kind of tend to have their
local Ouzo, but to me it's quite strong at least for now so I'm sticking to Aperol.
It's important what you eat but it's even more important where you
stay. We are staying at Myconian Ambassador which has 78 rooms and it's
located 20 minutes from the city center. What's important to me is that it's
walking distance to Nammos shopping village with high-end designer
clothing, shoes, bags, you name it, and another 10 minutes from a beach club
Scorpios which I absolutely adore. So let me show you around and you'll see why I like it so much.
You can't come to Mykonos and miss out on Scorpios. Scorpios is my absolute favorite place.
It's the closest to Tulum you can possibly get here in Europe.
Good music, good food, good company. What else could you want to have? Oh wait! A margarita. Cheers!
Baklava's not native to Greece but it's very popular here in Greece.
I love this particular one. It's so full of honey and nuts, it basically glues my teeth together.
I'm usually not a messy eater but there's no nice way to eat it. It's so delicious.
So sweet, though. The fun fact is that they actually repaint all the
streets of Mykonos every year, so as you walk, it's all beautiful and it feels so
fresh because it is. Postcard, anyone? I actually love looking through postcards
because they give you great photo ideas. It's kind of fun to see wow this
spot looks amazing. Let me find it. It must be on this side of
the island. Like this pink door looks great. This little alley. It's a fun
challenge and it's also a great way to learn photography.
I love the variety of shopping. Like I said you get luxury shopping, which I'll show you in a second,
but you also get these Greek outfits and traditional antique, ancient Greek
dresses. One hundred percent Greek cotton, so I guess it's good.
Very cute, very Greek.
We have made it to another of our destinations: Bar Semeli. It looks
super empty right now, but wait about two hours and it will be completely covered
with people, impossible to get a table without a reservation, because the sun
sets right around here. It's one of the best restaurants to watch the sunset, but I
have one more spot, so let me show you.
We made it to Nammos Village,
one of the most luxurious shopping centers in Greece. Let's take a look at what's inside.
Dior, Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta. You name it, they are all here at Nammos
and once you're done with shopping, you head to the beach to have an even fancier
dinner. We're gonna do that, too.
What a way to finish our day and what a way to finish our video. I hope you
enjoyed it and I hope you fell in love with Mykonos from in front of your
computer just as much as I love this island. I hope this guide was useful.
Come to Mykonos. Enjoy it. If you liked the video, make sure to leave a thumbs up or

beautiful islands. Thank you so much for watching!
