Mykonos, Greece

The Greek island of Mykonos is a hot spot for European celebrities in the summer!

beautiful scenery

There’s a law in Mykonos that says all buildings must be painted white and square shaped

all the homes look like white ice cubes

Pros: Europeans in Italy and Greece are generally very friendly and helpful. These countries usually get bombarded with tourists and so most know English. The food is always, always, always delicious. Oh, and the rumor is true…European men are tall, dark, and very handsome!


Cons: The dollar vs. the Euro 1.5 to 1. Don't be fooled when you see things for $10.00. Honey, that ain't 10 American dollars, that's 15 American dollars. Shopping in Europe is tres expensive...You're better off paying for them in America. The local Italians even told me that they were planning on buying brand name sunglasses (which are made in Italy) when they come to America!

Stalking Paul In Europe part 2

Second location: Rhodes and Athens, Greece

He briefly went through the Greek island of Rhodes. As for Athens, he stayed there longer (51-52 A.D.) and disputed with many of the philosophers at that time. He gave a speech in the Areopagus, telling Athenians that the "Unknown God," to whom they had a shrine dedicated to, was in fact known as the God who had raised Jesus from the dead.
