mareTV: The Blue and White Island World of Greece: Mykonos, Naxos and Tinos

Around the once sacred Isle of Delos, some 200 islands, including 20 larger ones, are arranged almost in a circle. This is where the name of the Greek island paradise comes from: Cyclades, a derivation of the Greek word kýklos, circle. Each cyclade has a unique character. The pelican Petros, about 20 years old, is the mascot of Mykonos. He moves from taverna to taverna all day long, scrounging fish. This works out sometimes well and sometimes not so well. Petros does have a few human friends who regularly slip him something, but all too often visitors eager to take pictures block his path. Then he has to "wiggle" his way through the crowd. Jackie Onassis is said to have once brought Petros' "great-grandmother" from Louisiana to the island.
