Milos

Amidst the unspoiled beaches of the Greek island of Milos, travelers can find extraordinary culinary delights and experiences with even more spectacular views. Milos is a breath of fresh air after experiencing the excitement (and chaotic tourism) of glitzy Santorini and Mykonos. Locals are intermixed with visitors throughout the island in an authentic, unhurried experience that truly brings out the best of Greek culture, cuisine, and landscape. To experience the best culinary scene on the island, I recommend staying the first few nights in the hilltop town of Plaka, followed by the remainder of your stay in the quaint seaside town of Pollonia.
