A return visit meant so many different things to me: seeing places I already knew I loved, an opportunity to discover cities I haven\u2019t visited before, an opportunity to see Jorge\u2019s family and friends in person again, another chance to order <i>arroz negro<\/i>, the benefit of having a native person guiding you through their own turf, and of course, more time together.

I don&#8217;t mean that in the emotional sense, although the sadness of our getaway coming to an end was quite strong as well. Figuring out how to leave Mykonos was SO confusing. It really felt like we were going to have to spend another night on the island. We took a water taxi from Little Venice, Mykonos to the Old Port &#8211; as opposed to the New Port where we arrived with SEAJETS &#8211; because that is where the Hellenic Seaways ferry would be docking. Once we got there, we felt like it was incredibly unclear how to find the check-in kiosk for Hellenic Seaways. Even though we left extra early just to make sure nothing went wrong, <strong>we still got lost and began to fret we would actually miss our ferry back to Athens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-33642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=768,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=225,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=576,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=1152,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=2048,height=1536,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 2048w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=218,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=305,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=600,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=384,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=915,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1398.jpg 1220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We searched and searched for the Hellenic Seaways kiosk. It was necessary to visit it because they produce and print your entry boarding passes at that time. You can\u2019t get them any other way. We actually gave up trying to find the kiosk ourselves. Thankfully, Jorge had a working phone in Mykonos (operational but with premium rates) so we were able to make a quick call to the agency to ask for guidance. They helped out immensely. We were nowhere near where we should have been.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-33643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=1024,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=225,height=300,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 225w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1152,height=1536,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 1152w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,height=2048,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 1536w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=387,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=543,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=1067,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=683,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=1627,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393.jpg 1220w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1920,height=2560,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/IMG_1393-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sailing with Hellenic Seaways was a totally different experience than sailing with Seajets. The boarding process was utter chaos. I\u2019m not exaggerating. There was <b>no one<\/b> on staff to help guide the HOARDS of people searching for their seats. To be honest, I\u2019m not sure if there even were assigned seats. I\u2019m semi-convinced there weren\u2019t. It was far too disorganized for that to have been a possibility. People were stampeding to different levels, indoor and outdoor areas, navigating to different rooms. Judging from the chaos that ensued, I think it was every man for him\/herself. This was the most CONFUSING boat I\u2019ve ever been on. Jorge and I scanned our boarding passed FOR ANY SIGN OF WHERE WE SHOULD SIT but we could not find even the slightest indication. To be fair, it probably <em>was there<\/em> but the ticket was in Greek so neither of us could decipher it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33652\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33652\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-33652 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.therockysafari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1024,height=681,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 1024w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=300,height=199,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 300w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=768,height=511,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 768w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=290,height=193,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 290w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=407,height=271,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 407w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=800,height=532,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 800w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=512,height=340,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 512w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=811,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 1220w, \/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1504,height=1000,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/UNC_library_flash_mob_rave.jpg 1504w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Confession: this photo wasn&#8217;t actually taken on the ferry but the chaos was so similar you likely wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell the difference if you saw it side-by-side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Even if we had a room or a seat to look for, it isn\u2019t like we could have found it with the mayhem that engulfed us.

I hoped the name was somehow indicative that we could blend in and go unnoticed after having taken two random seats that most definitely did not belong to us. We found two spots that were still vacant and placed our stuff there.
