MY HOT TIPS FOR MILOS

Okay buckle up!!! Because Milos is pure magic and I’m still not over it.

SWIM

Sarakiniko Beach. Looks like the moon, but hotter. White volcanic rock formations that make you feel like you’re on another planet. Utterly surreal.

Firopotamos Beach. Imagine if a postcard and a Greek god had a baby. Prepare to stay longer than you planned. You’ll fall in love.

Mandrakia. Possibly the cutest little fishing village on earth. So charming it hurts.

EAT

Non-negotiable: One gyros a day keeps the doctor away.

O’Hammo’s. A must. Yia Yia’s recipes, menus handwritten with love and custom pottery you’ll want to take home. No bookings, so get there early. We went back twice. That says it all.

Kivotos ton Gefseon Bakery. Every greek pastry you can imagine. Still dreaming about the galaktoboureko.

Trapatselis. Local charm, on the water, checkered tablecloths, overflowing bougainvillea. Need I say more?

Medusa. Order everything. It’s seafood heaven with the views to match.

Sirocco. Volcanic Restaurant. You choose your own fish and they cook it in geothermal sand. Brilliant.

VISIT

Hire an ATV and just go! Zip around the island, especially to Klima to see the colourful fishing shacks.

Boat Cruise around to the Kleftiko caves - turquoise water like you’ve never seen. 

Watch the sunrise at Sarakiniko - you will not regret it.

STAY 

Adamas to be central, Plaka for a traditional Cycladic experience and Apollonia for total peace and quiet.
